What we are talking about in this sub-thread is exclusively the 'this is clearly plagiarism' part.

If you used Google Translate for your German 101 exam, that would be academic dishonesty/cheating, but not plagiarism.

I'm largely uninterested in the specific name you want to give it and more if its worthy of punishment.

Then I think this sub-thread is not the discussion you were looking for.

Words have meanings, if we don’t use them and have a shared understanding of them, dialogue becomes exceptionally difficult.
