Do we have any information on how accurate the translations are compared to human translations?

95% accuracy is indeed impressive. It will be interesting to see how the system performs with more obscure languages and dialects.

As a linguist, I'm excited about the potential of this technology, but it's important to remember that nuances and cultural contexts can still be lost in machine translations.
