Current translation:

OP’s version is more poetic

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 months ago

I agree. Translation is much better these days and I am sure someone else was going to be curious about what the actual translation was.

Good they fixed it but I wouldn't be surprised if it broke again. Once I was doing a coding project that involved Google Translate and I was using the same sentences for testing. In a week translation has changed 3 times, from bad to good to bad.

Out of curiosity, did it change back to the previous bad translation, or create a new bad translation?

[–] hypertown@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

New bad.

The different Google translate frontends have different translations sometimes, it might be that. I think it's the web result and the website being different? Or the app and the website/web result? Idk.

Or maybe they didn't use Google translate at all? There are other ways to translate things.

Who? The post OP specifies Google Translate and the comment OP shows Google Translate.

Yeah I meant the post OP. While the title says "Google translate" I see no reason to believe it's that rather than some other product....especially as it's not reproducible.

Probably just something they came across and made an assumption, rightly or wrongly.
