Spudart: Deciphering the Matrix Digital Rain. “…if it’s not secretly a recipe for spicy tuna rolls, what is on the screen? I decided to find out the dumbest, most 2026 way possible. I ran it through Google Translate. It’s kind of fun to point today’s ‘instantly understand any language’ technology at a 27-year-old movie prop and just see what happens.”

The amount of badly translated to Spanish interfaces I see online is very high. The translation of "open" as in "to open" is "abrir", not "abierto", and so on (my mail service is asking me if I want to "vacío" my spam folder). I guess most companies machine-translate everything nowadays and don’t pay anyone to check afterwards, even for the most basic things. #translation #machineTranslation #ux #ui #spanish #spanishLanguage
