Okay, I feel the need to share this because people who only speak english may not realize it.
As a french speaker, I'm seeing more and more websites auto-translating their content, because I guess now there's #AI translation and people think it works?
Guess what: the translations are still shit. It was not okay to publish Google-translated websites without a native speaker checking it if you didn't want to be ridiculed, and it's still not okay now, despite all the hype.
Please don't do this.
@julienbarnoin I HATE auto translation. My first language is English, but I live in the Netherlands, and I hit these translations in both directions. Some sites auto-translating English to Dutch, and others doing Dutch to English.
Really annoying.
@xinit I had that problem on Google today. Speaking fluently English, searching in English for something English, I got only French gibberish because of my IP. And I don't know where to change it, because English is my saved language on Google.
@julienbarnoin Well, it's my explanation, because I don't know what they really do.
