It's basically my experience with translation, too: asking a LLM is a decent way to look for potential ways to translate a specific problematic word, so you can look them up in a dic and see which one is the best. It's also a decent way to generate simple conjugation/declension tables. But once you tell it to translate any chunk of meaningful text, there's a high chance it'll shit itself, and output something semantically, pragmatically, and stylistically bad.
