Wikipedia:Google Translate

In November 2016, Google Neural Machine Translation was introduced, resulting in a significant increase in the accuracy of machine translation. What does this mean for the use of Google Translate on Wikipedia?

Pros and cons

 * Pros
 * The accuracy of Google Translate continues to improve, and in many cases approaches the accuracy of human translation
 * Use of non-English sources can help counter systemic bias on Wikipedia, which skews to Anglocentric and Eurocentric perspectives
 * Cons
 * Accuracy may not be sufficient for all uses, and human translation is still more accurate
 * The reliability and due weight of non-English sources must be established
 * Caveats
 * Translation into English is usually more accurate than translation from English
 * Translation from languages related to English (i.e., Indo-European languages) is more accurate than translation from unrelated languages
