The Register: Watchdog says US weather alerts are getting lost in translation. “…the NWS AI translation effort has been caught between a drive to reach as many people as possible, administration changes, and a White House Executive order to cement the role of English as the country’s official language.”
https://rbfirehose.com/2026/01/29/the-register-watchdog-says-us-weather-alerts-are-getting-lost-in-translation/Back in the day when I was studying #ComputationalLinguistics, we learned about early attempts to translate phone calls on the fly using computers.
This felt like a bright future. No language barriers no more! A dream of mankind, which for example came true in fiction, such as the Babelfish you'd stick in your ear in “Hitchhiker's guide to Galaxy” by Douglas Adams. It was no coincidence that one of the first online translation systems was called #Babelfish, actually based on a #translation software called #SYSTRAN, which had started out in 1968 already! Babelfish was operated by the first big search engine, #AltaVista, until #Yahoo took over.
What we didn't forsee at all back then was that #AI #MachineTranslation would not be serving the user – but users would rather serve companies… especially one other search engine company that at some point has abandoned their slogan “don't be evil”.
We should have known. A (human) translator you can't trust is something we had seen in the movies already…

최근 발표되거나 공개된 무언가('this')가 DeepL의 사업에 어떤 영향을 미칠지 묻는 반응형 트윗입니다. 번역 시장에서의 경쟁과 비즈니스 영향에 대한 우려를 제기하는 짧은 코멘트입니다.
Techspot: This open-source tool uses AI to translate Japanese retro games on the fly. “Developer Bertrand Quenin recently released an open-source project called ‘Interpreter’ that aims to provide real-time translation for Japanese retro games. The tool can capture Japanese text from virtually any on-screen window, perform live optical character recognition, and render an English translation […]

This feature opens up a whole new world for me. I can follow people whose language I wouldn't otherwise be able to decipher. A place where machine translations are helpful.
