Mike 🇨🇦🇳🇱<p>Kagi's new translation service keeps knocking it out of the park. I have been challenging it with more nuanced aphorisms, weird turns of phrase, stuff that Google, Reverso, and DeepL all get close, but subtly wrong, and Kagi is nailing it every time.</p><p>This is deliberately difficult. It is designed as a Dutch tongue twister, and grammatical trickery, using homophones/homonyms, designed to make your average student cry. </p><p>This translation is, as far as I can tell, flawless.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Kagi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kagi</span></a></p>
