"Common phrases in one language don’t exist in another; cultural references in one country mean nothing elsewhere, and so on. This is why a computerized translation is fine for a bland business email but will utterly fail for a novel."

Sure, translations work better for bland, unpleasant, and redundant text, regardless of purposes.

So if business emails gets creative and dramatic, there will be heightened need for resources and risk for mistranslations, or if a novel would be written like law text, there will be less ambiguity or processing cost. Or if were to be written relying on English-centric LLM, it'll do worse in languages other than en_AI.

yes, WIP :)
