I still worry the actual financial ratios are off, so I’ll have my other guy do that, but yeah, ok I hate these things but they are good at translation.
Translation is actually one of the real valid uses for LLMs. It’s actually what they where originally designed for. They are DAMN good at it to.
It picks up on local dialects and cultural euphemism very well and give you very natural output.
See deepl.com (pronounced deepulu in Japanse fyi)
FYI DeepL is ML based while Kagi Translate is LLM based
