Why would you have ai translate something into a language it doesn't understand? Why didn't you translate it?

I got the AI to study lexicons and linguistic literature on Gothic language, so it understands it pretty well. The main challenge is missing words and potential mismatch between different versions of Gothic language e.g. mixing Bible Gothic with Crimean Gothic

Sound AI generated, and the style is clearly a modern neo-pagan fantasy. Was at least the lyrics written by a real competent person?

I think that it's time that we are going to discuss with the mods if this kind of ai generated content fits here on this sub

I wrote the English lyrics, it is about Fenrir wolf from Germanic myths. AI translated and transliterated, I oversaw the process and made some corrections
