Translating a Book at No Cost with Passable Results - Blog comment by elaine martzen - 19 Apr 2022
Loved reading the process, thanks for writing it out! Do you think Google or Yandex is generally better for Hebrew translations? Someday I’ll be able to read well in Hebrew, but it will probably be 10 years or so! I’ll use some of your ideas for an English language city directory I’d like to get into ...
