The use of machine translation is becoming increasingly widespread. While the quality has significantly increased over the past few years, there are various factors (text suitability, target audience, data security) that need to be considered when it comes to using machine translation tools (e.g. DeepL, Google Translate), especially in academic contexts. English Language Services are on hand to answer any questions you may have about machine translation. Below you also find two helpful documents on the topic:
