Google Translate is an artificial intelligence-based translation service developed by Google. Since its introduction in 2006, this service has continued to create with the application of Neural Machine Translation (NMT) technology, which improves the accuracy and fluency of translation compared to previous methods. This study aims to determine the effectiveness and limitations of Google Translate in translating Batak into Indonesian. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a comparative approach of Google Translate translation results and manual translations by professional translators. The study results show that Google Translate can translate basic words and simple sentences quite well. However, there are several limitations, such as a lack of understanding of the cultural context, idioms, and dialect variations in the Batak language. In addition, the translation is also influenced by the limitations of the database and vocabulary enrichment in this service. Thus, although Google Translate can be a tool in translation, users still need to do manual verification to ensure accuracy, especially in fields that require high precision such as law, academics, and professional communication.

This study aims to analyze the effect of body angle variations on propulsion force and water resistance in swimmers through a biomechanical approach. This research is motivated by the importance of movement efficiency in swimming, where suboptimal body positions can increase drag coefficient, thus slowing down swimming speed. The method used is a quantitative experimental design, involving professional and semi-professional swimmers. Instruments used include a motion capture system to record body movements, force sensors to measure propulsion and water resistance, and biomechanical software to analyze force vectors and drag coefficient. The results show a significant difference in swimming performance based on body angle variations. At a 0° angle, the average propulsion force is 145.3 N with a drag coefficient of 0.92. At a 15° angle, the propulsion force increases to 162.7 N with the lowest drag coefficient of 0.78. Meanwhile, at a 30° angle, the propulsion force decreases to 150.1 N, and the drag coefficient increases to 0.88. These findings indicate that a 15° body angle is the most optimal position, as it minimizes water resistance and maximizes propulsion force, thus improving swimming movement efficiency. The implications of this study suggest that biomechanical approaches can be used to design more efficient swimming training programs. The findings are also beneficial for swimmers and coaches in developing more effective training strategies.
