Google Translate vs DeepL vs InOtherWord for Documents

Google Translate and DeepL are both useful, but they are usually evaluated on short text quality. That is not the same thing as translating full document files.

Where Google Translate and DeepL are strong

• Quick understanding of short passages
• Fast ad hoc translation
• Low-friction use for casual text
