Google Translate is generally hot garbage. I've actually found DeepL surprisingly good especially with more "niche" languages like Finnish, although it does definitely sometimes get things hilariously wrong
It seems like the sign is trying to kill me in this translation.
Is that DeepL's app? I've never used it so I have no idea what the UI looks like and I didn't try to translate the sign's text with the web version.
Edit: out of curiosity I tried out how the web version handles this sign:
Yeah, it's the android version.
To be fair, It looks like a problem with the OCR from the app rather than the translation. When I use the phone's native OCR and copy/paste the text into DeepL Translate, I get the same result as you.
Ah right, that definitely makes sense. I can imagine OCR'ing Kanji could be a bit of a nightmare
