Is Google Translate 100 accurate?
Yes, Google Translate is very accurate for the most part. In some cases, it's 94%+ accurate! In fact, it's one of the top-rated translation tools when it comes to translation accuracy, though the exact accuracy will depend on the language pairs that you've chosen.
How do I make sure Google Translate is correct?
Google Translate works best for long-form text with simple sentence structure. Using standardized, non-colloquial text will give you your best chance of receiving a pretty accurate machine translation. The more context given in the standardized sentences, the more accurate the translation will be.
Why Google Translate is not accurate?
In short, firstly, Google Translate cannot recognise idioms, or cases where the same word may take a different meaning, depending on the context (mononyms). Secondly, there is no checking of the translation. There may be an error in the translation, in a language that you do not speak, and it would go unnoticed.
