GOOD TO KNOW
Safety and privacy
Translations can change meaning
Strength in a language pair does not remove ambiguity; verify politeness, names, addresses and travel instructions.
Protect private material
Text, images, screens and voice can contain personal data; keep passports, bookings and private conversations out unless necessary and approved.
Keep human control
Check names, numbers, instructions and nuance against the original before relying on the result.
