@CiaraNi I worked some years as a professional #translator and translated some books. The kind of "it's horribly difficult, would you". Working with different #languages for my whole life, I learnt what it needs to find an elegant, witty tone in German when the French (bestseller) author would sound like a bunch of crap, if you only take word for word. You have to become the author's sound as if they lived in a different culture.
Most people don't know about these skills.But the change

“One would expect a #translator, of all people, beholden to a text, in service to a text, to be just a wee bit more thoughtful and respectful of others who are acting in good faith just as (she would claim) she is.”

Beyond being a universal translator for humans, I hope AI will also, some day, be a universal translator for species in general.

Each of our lives is a Shakespearean drama raised to the thousandth degree. Mute separations, mute black, bloody events in every family. Invisible mourning worn by mothers and wives. Now the arrested are returning, and two Russias stare each other in the eyes: the ones that put them in prison and the ones who were put in prison. A new epoch has begun. You and I will wait for it together.

If you ever see a #translation that's unclear or confusing, don't always assume the #translator is bad. It could just be that they lost the battle.
Ask me how I know. 😳
I generally make it a point of pride to advocate for readers of my translations—almost to a fault. But sometimes, you just have to throw up your hands and say, so be it.
In 22 working days, you won't have this guy to kick around anymore (but who's counting).

Just saw this from a fellow #fossuser #freedomatrisk
I have been using an offline translator from F-Droid repository. One of the newly updated mobile banking App (Canara Bank) denied login saying that Slideloaded application "Translator" is unauthorized and risky. Forcing to uninstall that App to continue Mobile Banking!!Is this related to Google's devil move of not allowing any apps out of Play Store?
#googlecrap #sideload #fdroid #translatorHave requested for an image if can be presented now. This reminds me of my case with #hsbc app.

Echt schade, dass bei der Microsoft Translator-App ab 30.6. die Konversationsfunktion ("Funktion für Unterhaltung mit mehreren Geräten" per Code, spontan und ohne Meeting-Struktur) wegfällt. Etwas vergleichbares gibt es scheinbar nirgendwo.

Asking an experienced #translator to revise machine translations is like giving an experienced chef a McDonald's happy meal and asking them to turn it into a gastronomic experience. It's soul destroying.
When all the competent chefs switch careers because they find the work distasteful (ahem), all that remains is fast food.
AI has its uses, but its misuse will destroy expertise in translation on an unprecedented scale. But hey, it was a great career while it lasted.
