Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

It's really cool to get a PR to your small dinky project that fixes an issue raised by someone not-me, like wow people use this dinky project and want to make it better... Sometimes people rock

It's kinda neat to me that the ONE OK ROCK vocalist started doing music when his parents didn't want him to and then OOR made it big
And his brother also did a similar thing with MY FIRST STORY
Anyway they both rule

Finished reading the Mistborn books today - fun reads! The setting rocks, Allomancy is cool, the action is pretty good. Dialogue and character thoughts felt kinda weird sometimes, but not a deal breaker by any means.
