If you don’t have an MA or 5 years of experience then we require you to have a relevant bachelors degree as well as 2 years of experience.
Needs a bit of work but pretty good. Seems to have an issue with homophones (it translated assault and battery as saldırı ve pil) and it also couldn't find the Turkish equivalent for ''battlements'' despite somehow finding the equivalent for machicolations.
Yeah, it needs some improvements but I like the idea of searching a term in two languages simultaneously. Saves time and has great potential.
