Can we use (DeepL) machine translation in party research? 🤖 Extremely happy to share my research note „Advantages and pitfalls of machine translation for party research“ in which I investigate this question! Open access and out now with Frontiers in Political Science 🔥🤩 @hhu.bsky.social

The short answer: yes, we can use MT. The longer/more complicated one: whether MT produces reliable results highly depends on your case (length of text, languages and combinations, linguistic style...), however, I argue that for "sober" texts like manifestos, MT can be used. Polisky
