Have you compared GPT to Google's translations? I've found them to be slightly better with context.

Bing Chat is significantly better than any translation app out there. It captures the context and emotion of the original text.

I've tried using Bing Chat for translations before and it's done worse compared to GPT-4 based on my experience. There's a theory that it uses Bing translate instead of GPT-4, though I don't know how true that is.

It sometimes rejects translations as well, which I found pretty odd. Maybe it's because of the prompt? I actually did a comparison test on this on Japanese visual novel text, Humans vs GPT-4 vs Google Translate vs DeepL on this post. Most still prefer the human translation on that post, but I also did a blind test poll to see which one they think is better, and the human actually only won by 5 votes.

Edit: If you're on mobile and you can't see the GPT 4 translation, swipe left, it's a table.

I've not. But any language I've used to chat with gpt or variants, I've always gotten a response that has made sense in the context of the prompt used.

GPT-4 is significantly better, especially when it comes to story translations. Did a test on Japanese visual novel text, comparing human, gpt-4, google, and deepl translations, and it's scarily good, enough to change the translation industry type of good.

DL Translate is significantly better than google. I wouldn't use google as a gold standard.
