Machine Translation Notice

Articles on the Site are available in English, Simplified Chinese and Japanese.

Which pages are machine-translated

Each article starts with one original language version. The other language versions are translated automatically by DeepL. Machine-translated pages carry a notice at the top and a link to the original.

Errors are possible

Machine translation can contain mistakes, omissions and unnatural wording. For anything involving amounts, dates, procedures, legal matters or technical steps, rely on the original and check official sources.

Human-reviewed versions

Once the author edits a language version by hand, it is marked as a human version, is no longer overwritten by machine translation, and no longer shows the machine-translation notice.

When the original is updated

When the original changes, machine-translated versions that have not been edited by hand are translated again automatically. Versions that have been edited by hand are never overwritten.

Search engines

Machine-translated pages ask search engines not to index them by default, and are indexed only after human review.

Translation service and privacy

Translation is done by DeepL. Only article text is processed, at site build time; no visitor information is involved. See the Privacy Policy.
