New Google Translate update has wonderful connotations

[allthecanadianpolitics]

One of the most widely spoken Indigenous languages in this country is now available through Google's translation service, the first time the tech giant has included a First Nations, Métis or Inuit language spoken in Canada on its platform. Inuktut, a broad term encompassing different dialects spoken by Inuit in Canada, Greenland and Alaska, has been added to Google Translate, which translates text, documents and websites from one language into another. The latest addition is part of a Google initiative to develop a single artificial intelligence language model to support 1,000 of the most-spoken languages in the world.  There are roughly 40,000 Inuktut speakers in Canada, data from Statistics Canada suggests.

I had a dream last night that I was trying to translate something into Italian and I discovered that Google Translate had added several languages that weren't,,, actually languages?

Like they had one called 'Neurotypical' that took cryptic double-meanings and made them straight-forward, and they had one called 'Corporate' that translated bureaucratic bullshit into plain words, but the one that I remember most clearly was called 'Passive-Aggressive Asshole,' and it looked like this -

In the dream I also put in "You're so welcome" and it translated it to "You'd better be grateful, you fuck."

Google Translate’s English Accent

Accent of the English “Text to Speech” Feature

[machveil]

König bought a Switch specifically to play Animal Crossing: New Horizons

König makes his island nature themed, lots of waterways and cliffs, uses wooden stairs and downloads the iconic dirt paths. despite Isabelle telling him it’s a problem, König enjoys when the weeds on his island grow out. his favorite villagers are Fauna and Dobie - he’s neighbors with them

König makes a second account on his switch so he can have his house and a beginner’s tent house for decoration. is not so patiently waiting for Molly to show up at his campsite. “Gah— hallo, Hamphrey”, voice uninterested as he spots the cranky villager - one thats visited him too many times. Walking out of the campsite, he scoffs, “See you next week, Geringe Belästigung.”

König who got Skye as a starter villager and doesn’t have the heart to let her leave. he didn’t like her at first, but he got attached over time because he related to her. when she asked him to move out he panicked and almost clicked the ‘yes’ option

König’s current villager roster is Fauna, Dobie, Skye, Wolfgang, Vivian, Tia, Sylvana, Shep, Pudge, and Julian - he desperately wants to replace Julian with Molly. really enjoys playing ACNH when he can’t go hiking or camping, he’ll just spend the afternoon gifting fruit to his villagers and catching bugs

Capital B: No holes! [Original line: "There is no hole!"]

Some notes

I thought it'd be funny if the translations I used were all into languages I either knew off the top of my head that the creators speak or are official languages where they live. This got really convoluted really fast, because Ren was the only person I could think of who speaks a language other than English and I completely ran out after French and Scottish Gaelic, so I added languages spoken by Hermitcraft members instead, then threw Maori on for good measure because New Zealand's close enough to Australia (sorry, New Zealand) and I couldn't find any aboriginal Australian languages on Google Translate. So the translation order roughly went Afrikaans -> French -> Scottish Gaelic -> German -> Swedish -> Polish -> Maori -> English.

Ren's line "Red Winter is coming, me laddie" line got translated as "The red winter is coming, my lady." Honestly, it still kind of works?

"Watcher" got translated as "Inspector", which gives me the mental image of Inspector Gadget in a Watcher costume.

I don't know where the extra e at the end of Martyn's name came from.

I don't know why Etho's name is the only name that got translated into lowercase.

The fact that Mumbo's name somehow got translated as "Explosives" made me start cackling as soon as I saw it.

There were several points where Grian's name got translated as "The Sun" instead, probably because "Grian" is the word for "Sun" in Irish and Scottish Gaelic is from the same language family, so they probably share the same or a similar word.

"Soulmate" somehow got translated as "Spirit descendants". I'm pretty sure it's because it got split up into its component words; "Soul" corrupted into "Spirit", and "Mate"...I honestly don't know.

I translated a grand total of one line from Bdubs, and for some reason when I translated the document back to English, that one line stayed stuck on what I'm pretty sure is Maori except the word "Boogey", which stayed exactly the same.

I'm genuinely surprised by how many lines stuck remarkably close to the originals. Aside from his name, one of Joel's lines ("Where's the fun in that?") somehow survived perfectly intact, and one of BigB's lines ("There is no hole!") got pretty close ("No holes!").

I think the best part about this is that you can tell how and why Google translated some things the way it did, and then others you're just left completely stumped about how the hell it happened.

I couldn't remember exactly what I was thinking when I gave Iolithae Septimian's name as ןאימטפס יאתלוי back in Nobilis Antithesis 1i. So I tried google translate.

OK, sure.

wait, there's a "did you mean?"

That's obviously just translating from French, though, what if I tried other languages?

Oh, wait, now it's suggesting Hebrew

Let's try that

... no, that doesn't seem right.

copies text from the book again, pastes

... wait, I failed to delete the previous text

That's definitely wrong, though, so ... I ... I guess ... it was French?

(Or at least French Ninuanni.)

[lemonadeandlanguages]

This is my fault for using google translate instead of looking stuff up properly but I was wondering what the spanish equivalent to "goody two shoes" was and uh,

no, I don't think that's it, actually 😐
