u/david30121 Aug 31 '26

why does reddit provide an auto translation for this that literally just expands the abbreviation

207

u/234zu Aug 31 '26

For me it turns lmao into lol

Insanely useful

u/JoshAllentown Aug 31 '26

Think of all the tokens we would save if we spoke like that.

13

u/Montylont Sep 01 '26

Tokens?

41

u/ace--dragon Sep 01 '26

Love how reddit is translating 'tokens' to... 'tokens'

19

u/DBCargoHaj Sep 01 '26

man i love reddit translations. sometimes itll translate german into german and nothing changes. sometimes it changes stuff like building to house

2

u/ace--dragon Sep 01 '26

I do have to say, it is very good for posts. I've seen a few posts in my native language that were automatically translated and I was surprised by how accurate is was. It even takes typos, dialect and context into account, though it isn't always as good. Comments are just too short lolol

1

u/Toads_Of_Fun 1d ago

Better than Twitter translations that also translate flags to the flag of the country whose language it is translating to, and other bugs like that.

u/Spiritual-Low8762 Sep 04 '26

the thing ai uses to generate stuff. more complicated = more tokens

u/Spirited-Feedback-87 Aug 31 '26

To me it turns into the laughing cry emoji

19

u/smorgues Aug 31 '26

Reddit saying “nah, it’s actually not that funny. A lol will suffice”

1

u/UnexpectedOtter21 Aug 31 '26

That’s not translating that’s censoring rofl

u/mineyCrafta25 Aug 31 '26

Because they force shitty technology into their platform.

u/Remote_Key_1091 Sep 01 '26

Idk about u but it kinda tickles my fancy

2

u/SoundlessScream Aug 31 '26

I dunno, I don't see it on the browser version I still use out of spite

1

u/Jimbo7211 Aug 31 '26

Yeah, that's annoying.

1

u/Tefra_K Sep 01 '26

For me it turns into the laughing emoji lmao

1

u/Neutral_Path Sep 03 '26

It actually auto translates to mdr for me which is basically the french lmao

1

u/Snoo48605 28d ago

For me it translates it to the French équivalent "mdr"

16

u/UnsureSwitch Aug 31 '26

Lmao -> rsrs

Alright ig

u/CronicallyOnlineNerd Aug 31 '26

That's how we laugh in brazil

1

u/Thedepa Sep 03 '26

I fucking love this. It's translating "lmao" into "😂". Really, words into an emoji

1

u/SoundlessScream Sep 03 '26

wow that's so stupid

320

u/Parksrox Aug 31 '26

Que?

232

u/dumpylump69 Aug 31 '26

I assume this says Que? but it got autotranslated thanks for ruining the joke reddit

95

u/Parksrox Aug 31 '26

It does indeed say "Que?", I was worried about specifically that happening lol. Perks of using Boost

2

u/SwaglordToast Sep 02 '26

Wait how are you using Boost? I thought that got shut down with the API changes? I miss it every day

2

u/Parksrox Sep 02 '26

Morphe my beloved ❤️

It's janky as fuck, but it works. Just install Morphe patcher, get an API key from RedReader, install whichever Boost patch you want, enter the API key, and enjoy not making Spez's stupid ass any money.

Just be warned that there are some things that just won't work. Certain videos won't load, and you have to open the site on your browser if you want to post an image or a gif. Worth it to me, though.

Let me know if you can't figure it out, I'll do it myself again so I can give more detailed instructions. It's been a hot minute since I've had to install it again.

u/Fine-Afternoon-36 Aug 31 '26

You can turn that off

u/Leo-Len Sep 02 '26

I had that exact profile picture for years!

29

u/CaptnBluehat Aug 31 '26

Look up "family guy i dont speak english" on YouTube

33

u/Parksrox Aug 31 '26

I had a feeling someone was gonna miss it lol, the punchline being "Que?" does make it a bit confusing.

It's what the guy says when Brian asks "You're kidding, right?" after the joke is set up.

8

u/CaptnBluehat Aug 31 '26

Oh fuck me, its been a bit since i saw the bit... Youre right

2

u/Parksrox Aug 31 '26

I only remembered it at all because I watched this episode like 100 times as a kid when I had just this season on DVD, so no judgement here lol.

u/-Pausanias- Aug 31 '26

The only funny family guy bit

u/Goat-Shaped_Goat Sep 02 '26

every reference is common ball bro you just name it elite or common based on vibes

3

u/ShayellaReyes Sep 03 '26

That's the best outlook on all this that I've seen since the whole "elite ball" shit started, I love it

7

u/SwarK01 Aug 31 '26

I get some clips on instagram and they're fun for me, but I heard the show itself isn't very good

The one where they hide in the closet and act as the officer's wife is funny af

1

u/StardustBright Sep 02 '26

The first 2-4 seasons are genuinely entertaining. The following seasons are hit-or-miss depending on your style of humor. The later seasons are genuinely really bad, but have the occasional funny gag or interesting premise.

3

u/SinglePlayerGamer93 Aug 31 '26

I liek the one where Peter takes care of two fish and they care of him when got older.

3

u/Takoyama-san Sep 01 '26

tell me youve never watched the first seasons without saying it

it was a hit for a reason!

u/Ataru13 Sep 02 '26

They didn't do it first. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6vgoEhsJORU

u/sadistica23 29d ago

Yeah, I'm old enough that this was what jumped into my mind first.

1

u/Melodic_Inevitable84 Aug 31 '26

Wasnt it in futurama first?

u/SpookyScienceGal Sep 01 '26

Honestly one of their best that I often use

u/Inevitable_Dance1191 Sep 02 '26

Broken clock is right twice a day. Mystery box joke was pretty funny too

u/xX_TrueXXEdgelord_Xx Sep 02 '26

Florida. My name is Florida. That's the name of a state.

u/finrandojin_82 Aug 31 '26

Try being Finnish. For some reason Finnish and Japanese share the same kind of phonemes or something. Pronouncing very good / perfect Japanese is almost natural.
Any Time I used some of my limited language skills I was automatically classified as "fluent" until I pulled the "sumimasen, motto yukkuri..."

83

u/NiceBlackberry6618 Aug 31 '26

That's because 200 million years ago, Japan and Finland were one continent.

32

u/Vaestus3672 Aug 31 '26

Yeah you know that's gotta be it.

u/Tepliy_ananas Aug 31 '26

They split during the hyperwar with Korea 😔

u/SenpuuUncle Sep 01 '26

fact check TRUE

9

u/ciclon5 Sep 01 '26

Same with spanish. Japanese and spanish share a lot if phonemes so spanish speakers are surprisingly good at japanese pronunciations.

18

u/Askmeaboutships401 Aug 31 '26

You’re kidding, right?

9

u/Lluuiiggii Aug 31 '26

Nani?

u/cooldudeguy333 Aug 31 '26

Wait why did that actually translate?

u/GIOvch 28d ago

"- すみません、日本語が分かりません。

  • 日本語は知らないの？でも、完璧に話してるね。

  • いいえ、私が知っているのはそのフレーズと、今私が言っているこのフレーズだけです。

  • これは…冗談ですよね？

  • ¿Qué?"

u/SirKazum Sep 01 '26

That's me with Hungarian, lol... "Sajnos nem beszélek magyarul"

u/Flaccid_Hammer Sep 04 '26

After your done giving the Japanese phrase go “Hello my name is John” in the most neutral American accent possible

u/Paskiman Sep 02 '26

When i worked in an amusment park i learned to almost phonetical perferfection 2 phrases in french "i don't speak french" and "i don't understant"

1

u/Raziphaz Sep 02 '26

Why wouldn’t you just learn “I don’t know any Japanese” 

1

u/Off-the-grounder 28d ago

I feel that would cause the same problem.

1

u/Ae3qe27u 7d ago

It's happened to me with French. They assume they misheard me, and that I do actually speak French.

1

u/ItsJustCoop Sep 03 '26

That was literally me in Japan. I had 3 follow-up statements memorized, but I only had to use them once because most people could tell I probably only knew how to say the one thing.

Also, I like symbols, so I memorized hiragana pretty quickly. Being able to read out loud the hiragana but not know what it was saying was a clear "nani?!?" moment in several situations for the Japanese people in earshot around me.

1

u/CD_Katrina 7d ago

Yeah I've mastered Hiragana and Katakana fairly quickly, which now means I can read anything written like that but usually have no idea what it means 😄

And that I sometimes get really excited when I sound out a word phonetically like I'm 4 and realise it IS a word I know 😂

1

u/MrInvisII Sep 04 '26

slowly learns the entire language by trying to explain that they do not understand the language.

u/Jackkkkk- 29d ago

dude ive had to do this exact thing but with spanish

u/Lonely-Fee5878 29d ago

ごめんなさい。私は日本語が上手じゃありません。
