    The data is there, but simpler models just couldn’t do it, even when trained with that data.

    Bilingual human children also often can’t translate between their two (or more) native languages until they get older.

      That’s interesting. My trilingual kids definitely translate individual words, but I guess the real bar here is to translate sentences such that the structure is correct for the languages?
