            Is Earth Day also Hire A Translator Day? It should be: a simple action that saves the environment and the children…

                @jfmezei LOL. I was checking the reviews on Google for a restaurant in Paris and one review said “Hat of the leader”. Puzzled, I clicked to reveal the original review in French. It was “Chapeau le chef”. 😀

                  @jfmezei Or it's targeting a very, very specific, neglected market segment 🙃

                        So did ai do the translating? I can see it not realizing if English keep babies on Boards why wouldn't the French keep them under tables?

                        That should be all we need to know to stop using it.

                        @Crystal_Fish_Caves @jfmezei more likely Anglophones who couldn't be bothered to hire a translator and thought they knew what they were doing. this happens with Ottawa municipal stuff all the time. our city is right next to Quebec, a whole province of French speaking people, and la Ville de Gatineau is just across the river, but hire someone to get French phrasing correct? nah, who would do that.

                              @atkelar yep. Translated “board” as “blackboard” instead of expression “on board”. (Having boarded a vehicle).
