Matsuo Basho's most famous haiku translated by DeepL:

An old pond                古池や

A frog jumps in           蛙飛び込む

A J-Pop idol fan's casual and slang-filled tweet, captioning a few pictures of her favorite male idol wearing glasses, translated by Google Translate:

Two gender neutral sentences, translated by DeepL at the same time:

素敵な看護師です She's a wonderful nurse.

素敵な弁護士です He's a wonderful lawyer.
