The translation app said I quit in real time and honestly same 😭 Tone and sarcasm entered the chat and it fully panicked. Tech is wild until it isn't.

The Farsi word for “snow” made perfect sense—until it was sold in English-speaking countries as Barf Detergent Powder.
Literal translations can tank a product faster than bad stains.

Screenshot of some strategy game with hex tiles. A giant spider is attacking another unit, missing it. The game UI writes over the unit "Mademoiselle" "Mademoiselle" is French for "Miss", as in "Miss Elisabeth Bennett".
I'm both laughing and crying.
Please, please stop using that crap for translating stuff it's ridiculous.

A caution sign with three flying cats.
Not a typo—actual flying cats.
Please advise:
Are we supposed to worry? Celebrate? Take photos? 🤷♀️🐱✨
Für dich als .NET‑/Azure‑Dev ist das sehr attraktiv: du bekommst eine erste‑Partei‑Integration statt Dritt‑Extensions, die API‑Keys brauchen und nach Tokens abgerechnet werden.
Ah, die bekannte "erste Partei Integration" - darf ich mir das so vorstellen wie früher in der DDR? #perplexity #translationfail

Had the pleasure of seeing it at Cinema Massimo in Turin the other day, though my faith in the subtitles was dented by the fact that the title card read 'Velutto blu' rather than 'Velluto blu'... #italian #translationfail #proofreadingfail
A case of skimping on the budget for subtitling/QCing?

Google Translate shows the Original text of the highlighted languages option menu, where Russian (written in Cyrillic) was badly translated to "Poussin" (chick) in French. Only Arabic, Chinese and French stayed in their individual alphabet. But Russian and Spanish were badly Google translated. At the bottom, is the "Rate this translation" button, with text "Your feedback will be used to help improve Google Translate".
I can't comprehend how Russian was translated to Chick ("Poussin") in French. #TranslationFail

Whoever translated the title to KarolG’s @netflix.com special needs to go back and listen to the “Mañana será bonito” lyrics. Nothing about that songs says “Tomorrow was beautiful.” SMH #translationfail

The Microsoft Edge web browser has decided that several lines of randomly generated text, that is utter jibberish, is Maltese and is offering to translate the text into English.
C'mon @microsoft.com , I've no idea how things sound in Maltese, but it can't be that incomprehensible surely? #Edge #Malta #Maltese #TranslationFail
Translation fail. Chosun Biz uses OpenAI software to auto-translate their Korean language articles into English. Korean headline says "17th of next month" (i.e. April) but AI wrote it as "November 17". I wonder why though. biz.chosun.com/en/en-retail... #TranslationFail #PivotToAI
A partial screenshot of a phone's lock screen showing a notification from the Etsy Seller app. The notification reads, "(Name redacted) favourited your item: Modèle d'échantillonneur Blackwork tic tac orteil"
So I have a pattern called the Tic Tac Toe Sampler. Was unaware of how Etsy auto-translated that title until just now. 🤦♀️ #translationfail
Explicação do cronograma de relacionamento de Max e Lorelai 10 de set. de 2024O relacionamento de Lorelai e Max na primeira temporada é marcado pela ansiedade de Lorelai em se comprometer com a professora de Rory e confundir a importante linha entre a escola e a vida doméstica.
That's how you realize something was (badly) auto-translated.
"Cronograma" is probably the literal translation for "timeline" here.
This is basically saying (in Brazilian Portuguese) Lorelai Gilmore and Max Medina's relationship had a schedule. Oh, I […]

Strava screenshot from my phone: "Meta sugreida" instead of "meta sugerida" as localized to Brazilian Portuguese
Strava, how could I ever possibly forgive you?
"Sugreida" could've been avoided with a grammar checker or a human grammar checker: a proofreader/editor

Seid ihr eigentlich auch alle im experimentellen Gewindemodus? Ist das, damit man nicht völlig durchdreht?

Was habt ihr alle mit "verfolgt" und "Gewinde" - das hier ist mein #translationfail Highlight bei Bluesky:
