Ask HN: Translation Service to Recommend?

Google Translate alike, REST API, low volume (~200 characters), low frequency (50/hour), reliable, not too stringent latency. Any positive experience to share ?

    i saw https://deepl.com mentioned in another comment on another post. seems pretty nifty, im having a good time just chaining translations across languages to see how effective it as at maintaining the original intent and context. im quite happy with it as a toy but i imagine it could be very useful in other more focused applications

    I used the Microsoft one for a project, it wasn’t bad, but it had a specific language bug (I don’t remember what) that meant a common phrase didn’t work for us, so the project swapped to google translate.
