Reddit tests automatic, whole-site translation into French using LLM-based AI

Skunk , 11 days ago

So that’s why. I speak French and I’ve seen google results going to 100% French Reddit posts but somewhat strange.

Then by searching a little more you can find the original thread, in English.

The translations are ok-ish but feels a bit out of tone. Like translating internet "slang" in word to word French. And also seeing redditors writing too well. Something feels off.

TLDR: fuck you Spez, I am still looking for the OP language when I land onto your website.

I'm sure the French will appreciate what is done to their language by this project lol.

I deleted all of my reddit accounts some time ago, but last I recall there were already a bunch of French people using it lol I'm sure a bunch of inaccurate clinical AI translations will really help though...
