Hi All,

Does google translate delivers accurate translation or would we be able to hire a translator to verify the translated text? 

Thanks

English To Hindi
गूगल अनुवाद करता है सटीक अनुवाद बचाता है या हम अनुवादित पाठ सत्यापित करने के लिए एक अनुवादक किराया करने में सक्षम हो सकता है?
Hindi to English
Google translates delivers accurate translation or to verify the translated text we may be able to hire a translator?

Google translate serves as an  instant dictionary, you may need to rearrange sentence in your language if needed.

Hello Vikram,

Inside Google Translate, it uses a translation algorithm that is based on language pattern matching, termed Statistical Machine Translation. We scan the Web for billions of already translated texts and use machine learning to identify statistical patterns at enormous scale, so our machines can "learn" the language. We also rely on people like you in Translate Community to help improve current Google Translate languages and add new ones.

You can see how accuracy may vary due to these factors. Depending on your requirement, I suggest you to test out several translations using Google Translate and decide whether you'll need to have the translations checked by human translator.

You are also welcome to start such discussions at the official Google Translate Forum since this group is centered mainly around the Translate API.

I hope that helps. Cheers!
