When not to rely on this
- · Legal, medical or financial documents.
- · Anything going into print or public signage.
- · Names, addresses and place names — these are passed through or mangled unpredictably.
- · Regional Ilocano vocabulary outside the Ilocos Norte/Sur standard.
- · Anything where formality or respect matters, given the register drift above.
We measured this engine on 153 checked Ilocano phrases and it matched the human translation 57% of the time. See the full audit.
