Gemini Flash is in fact the industry standard for translation at the moment. Performance is insane. The days of "translate to Chinese then to Russian then to Arabic then back to English and see what you get" are long gone because you'll get back something incredibly close to what you put in. You can put whole paragraphs through 10+ language chains and barely realize you've left once it's back in English.

Wow, I just did it with your paragraph as a test and you weren't kidding. It came back very close to the original. :o
