I use Google Translate when reading, but I still feel that Japanese translations are not always perfect.
For writing, I usually translate with ChatGPT, then check it again by retranslating into Japanese with DeepL, and pick the version that feels the most natural.
When I am translating from Japanese, I find that DeepL is the most consistently understandable and accurate. I have copy/pasted many an article from Comic Natalie into translators to compare with what Anime News Network writes, and that is my experience.
I don’t particularly like ChatGPT. I tend to favor Claude just because it’s far less obsequious and tends to give a bit more pushback and is more critical.
I also like the structure of it answers a bit more. Maybe it’s just a matter of taste, but I really don’t trust an LLM model that keeps kissing my ass so much.
