So I was trying to translate Spots to Thai for fun when I found clear machine/google translation being used, and even worse, validated.
Two examples are:
• “move die” being translated to “ขยับตาย”. “ตาย” is die/dead in English, not the singular of “dice”.
• “play dead” being translated to “เล่นตาย”. “เล่น” = “play”, which is literal translation. It should be “แกล้งตาย”, which means “play dead” or “pretend to be dead”. (Note: No one will say “เล่นตาย” ever. The phrase doesn’t exist.)
These 2 are what you’ll get if you use google translate, and it’s from the same user. This is most likely an attempt to gain easy free premium.
Another concern is whoever validated these is letting incorrect google translated stuffs in.
Edit: Actually it’s not just 1 user. I saw at least 3 different dog name strings from 3 different users having out of context validated translations. (I.E. Major, Rogue, Pebble getting literal translations. Definitely google translation.)
Something needs to be done with the validators at least.
