Limitations

Specialist terminology can be translated imprecisely
AI translation — technical terminology, legal language, and domain-specific jargon may be translated imprecisely
What to do instead: Provide a glossary of key terms in the input or use the domain parameter to improve translation of specialized vocabulary
