That time workplace safety equipment got a craving for pumpkin spice lattes. And remember: friends don’t let friends use the free autotranslate feature. Here, for your entertainment, is a roundup of our favorite Google Translate fails.
But it’s still a long ways off from being able to reliably grasp nuance and context, which is more than half the battle where communication is concerned.
That’s not to say that we can’t give credit where credit is due: translation technology has certainly come a long way over the last few years. And actually, when you translate “gift that keeps on giving” into Vietnamese, you get “những món quà không ngừng đưa ra,” which then translates into “the gift is constantly offered” in English…or maybe just “No Delicious Delicious” when translated from English to Vietnamese again. You know - the gift that keeps on giving. It’s a perennially entertaining source of fun whenever robots attempt to interpret natural human language. Show us a day that ends in “y,” and we’ll show you a #GoogleTranslateFail.
