I sometimes translate text (bilingual German-English). And I have edited a machine-translated book, and let me tell you it does NOT save time.
I basically had to go back and rewrite almost every sentence. It was so bad the publisher actually put me on the cover as translator.
DeepL is good for short non-fiction stuff, and even that needs to be polished if you want to use it for anything serious.
Do not rely on anything AI. Never.
