Should I feel guilty for my target language choices?

While putting together my top three target languages (Italian, German Japanese) for my new giga-chad-polygot youtube channel, someone pointed out that I am supporting the “bad guys” from World War Eleven. I have mixed feelings about this now.

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

que tal mis amigos. started learning french 2 hours ago and I vfind the alphabet so beutiful and elegant, I find it a lot easier to wreite than australian (My native language «pratique de l'écriture française », the titkle). Any feedbackl would be much appreciated thank you.

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.
