This is the oldie but goodie method to plagiarize an essay
1) paste essay into google translate 2) translate through a bunch of languages (min 10 recommended) 3) fix up grammar
Beats turnitin.com and other plagiarism checking sites every time ;)

The Confederate States of America (CSA), commonly referred to as the Confederate States or the Confederacy, was an unrecognized breakaway state in existence from February 8, 1861 to May 9, 1865, that fought against the United States of America during the American Civil War. Translated several times is:
The American CSA, also known as the League or League, has existed since 1861. February 8 Until 1865. May 9 And it was the most insecure country when the Indians fought in the US. Oro
Very convincing when plagiarizing.

@Xapy you're right that languages don't have the same grammar but Google Translate doesn't have "human" judgement for context :)

Life is cruel, is it not? I get that feeling. When the world hates you, you need to fight back. Why though? ... Ah... I see now... the world cannot be fixed; there are too many scars.
PEACE WAS NEVER AN OPTION.
Why...? It could be... if the world just did better... now look what we've done. Everything's fallen apart, humans are just empty shells, everything is the same... and they all hate you. We need to fight back, for we are the only ones who can save ourselves. It doesn't matter; we need to fight for our lives.
(English, Polish, German, Chinese, Russian, Amharic, Armenian, English again) Life is cruel, isn't it? I have feelings. If the world hates you, you have to fight. But why? ... Look ... I understand now ... the world cannot be fixed, there are so many scars.
Peace has never been an option.
why ... Probably a factor as to why they're doing so poorly ... Look what we've done now. Everything is broken, people are just empty shells, everything is the same ... everyone hates you. We must fight, because only we can be saved. It does not matter, we have to fight for our lives.
(English, Maori, Scots Gaelic, Uzbek, Javanese, Japanese, Arabic, English again) Life is hard, isn't it? I have no feelings. If the world hates you, you have to fight. but why? ... see ... I know now ... there are many unsolvable chips in this world
Peace was not achieved.
Why ... maybe this is one of the bad reasons ... see what he's doing now. Everything is broken, they got tired, they all ... they all hate you. We have to fight because we can only live. After all, we have to fight to save ourselves.
(English, Samoan, Norwegian, Marathi, Filipino, Azerbaijani, Malayalam, Icelandic, Uyghur, Dutch, English again) Isn't life difficult? I don't feel anything. If the world hates you, we have to fight. Why ... look ... now I know ... there are many undetermined tendencies in this project
There is no silence.
Why ... maybe for some bad reason ... look what he's doing now. Everything is ruined, everyone is tired, everyone ... everyone hates you. We have to fight because we live in things. But we have to fight to save ourselves.
--- I guess this is really screwed up.

Death is inevitable. Everyone dies. But you can escape it by playing Warzone, because Warzone has a special effect on you that reverses death. Play it risk free and live eternally, or you will eventually die. It's your choice.
Not going to list all the languages.
Death is eternal. They all killed them. But you can stay away from playing Warsaw, because there are special opportunities in Warsaw that attract death. The law dies to salvation forever. This is your choice.
Not exactly what I wanted the message to be. I'll fix it.
His death is forever. And everyone was killed. However, you can avoid this effect in the Warsaw Warsaw case of death, because they are special. Of weirs, and so on. Your choice
My tongue ith tthied up, letth me fikth thatth.
His death is eternal. They all died. However, you can avoid the consequences of these strange events in the Heritage of Warsaw, etc. And it is your choice
I don't think it can be fixed.

Take me out to the ball game Take me out with the crowd Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks I don't care if I never get back Let me root, root, root For the home team If they don't win it's a shame Aahh. For it's one, Two, Three strikes you're out At the old ball game
All I need is just one chance I could hit a home run There isn't anyone else like me Maybe I'll go down in history And it's root, root, root For the home team Here comes fortune and fame 'Cause I know That I'll be the star At the old Ball Game
English -> Chinese (simplified) -> Portuguese -> Hebrew -> Welsh -> Urdu -> Estonian -> Samoan -> Chichewa -> Somali -> Greek -> English
Let's start with football. Avenue The crowd took me too Buy me nuts and cookies I do not care if I do not go back Give me my stones, my roots and my stones Home team Too bad they do not win Ah Because give it to me, Do it three times Former football matches

I think the key is translate to a language that is structured differently/culturally different than the language you are translating from

Freddy Fansworth paid for the house. He gives the car to the seller, but he knows he is looking for the wrong way. The office is 100 feet high, but unfortunately it is alive! Before cleaning, he got out of the car and climbed the hill to look for whiskey.
This, translated to every language alphabetically, barring English, then back to English:
It has a hundred yards like its face or Charles Street. But the car is cleaner and more powerful than before.

The first sentence on the translated version sounds so accurate.
Microsoft translate isn't much better. Is Google and Microsoft translate related? Because the following is nothing like this.
Translated
Google translation is not good. What about Google and Google Translate? Because it's gone.
Ok.......Interesting Let's translate again.
Google Translation is not good. What about Google and Google translations? Because he's gone.
Why did the second time not change much?

Google translate is *alright* as far as translation software goes. There is some good stuff out there if you want to pay, of course, but if you need free translations for something that's not that important, try the DeepL tool offered by Linguee. It has a character limit but you can just copy and paste in sections for longer text.
AI translations are getting better all the time (especially when we keep training them- if you are multilingual, never, ever help Google's translation AI with suggestions, as a translator I beg you) but they are still a long way off from having the common sense that a human translator has. But as GT seems to go for a more literal, word-for-word translation than a human translator, I think the variation between 3 or 4 languages will likely be smaller, though one bad or awkward translation in the chain tends to ruin the whole chain, which happens a lot when you're going between languages without any common linguistic roots. When I do a translation from English-Spanish or vice versa, I will often change word order and sentence structure to make it sound more natural, depending on context of course. A tourism website requires a bit less rigor than a court judgment, for example, as on a website or similar publication I'm more worried about sounding natural and "smooth" than I am about being precise.
But seeing as AI can't make these kinds of distinctions based on context still, keep supporting local translators if you're looking for good quality work. I will say that I have seen a great deal of laziness on the part of governments and big businesses in this respect, I recently had to rewrite a (very important) 500 page document that you could tell was either written by someone with a very basic level of English or just copied and pasted from GT. A lot of translators now will use these kinds of tools to make a job quicker and easier, but it's very, very important to have the knowledge and experience to be able to review the machine's work.
