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

  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.

    Honnêtement je pense que ce serait une bonne idée si c’était clair que c’était traduit et si il y avait un bouton pour revenir a l’original (et vice versa) En ce moment ça semble un peu manipulateur

      Tout à fait d’accord, c’est trompeur.

    Proper search is for people who know what they are doing. Translation is probably there to get more traffic from google

  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…
