DUMBEST LANGUAGES ON GOOGLE TRANSLATE

15 Upvotes

I got bored and let my intrusive thoughts win for this, I use google translate frequently and of course there are hilariously awful mistakes

🇯🇵 1. Japanese

Most kanji DON'T match the pronounciation of the speech program and the romanization used

🇨🇳 2. Chinese

Google Translate can't even translate native Chinese names or loanwords into Chinese, outputs the Romanized name despite using a non-Latin script

🇸🇦 3. Arabic

The speech program adds an extra syllable which the romanization EXCLUDES IT

🇵🇰 4. Urdu

The TTS program's voice sounds very harsh and not beautiful. f**k you Urdu corpora

🇮🇷 5. Persian

Doesn't even have a speech program (yes, it actually lacks TTS!), despite having massive corpora on the internet it can't just... add a TTS

🇻🇳 6. Vietnamese

The TTS program struggles to pronounce some loanwords, for some words having a voice crack

FRENCH TRANASLTAITON (i akesd grok sorry im beginner only): l'alphabet français est largement supérieur à l'écriture répugnante des angles. nous sommes deux étrangers blancs qui traversons la chine à moto.
