The items we went through were a bit difficult for documentation, but for translations, it looked like ChatGPT could be used, but it would need a review (and necessary adjustments) from a native speaker. It would certainly be great to have more languages translated and using the AI as a tool to help. Some words don't always translate ideally, which is why it would be great to have translators leverage it for translations.
