RRST Detects Translated Texts Better Than Humans

During Google's October SEO office hours, a question was answered about content that had been machine-translated and reviewed by a human. The person asking the question was concerned about their content that had only undergone minor changes. The answer could have been clarified with a follow-up question to determine if those changes were sufficient. Google's developer documentation about spammy content mentions automated text translation tools as a potential source of spam, but says that this is only the case when there is no human element involved. Google doesn't specifically say if minor edits are fine, but implies that as long as the "human translators" are happy with the content, it should be fine. In a Google Office-Hours video from April 2022, John Mueller mentioned how AI-generated content is considered spam by the company. RRST can more accurately detect translated content than humans. It can detect the original language of the translated texts and determine which translation algorithm did the translation. TSRT can also identify the original translator and translation language with 93.3% and 85.6% of accuracy.
