Gregory's ServerTo any of you with a language other than English on your YouTube account, get ready for it to be absolutely incomprehensible. YouTube has started rolling out auto-dubbing features (can be changed with settings gear), much worse is garbage translations of titles and descriptions.

 @BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social my limited german thinks that means "new wet-box"   Not only context. Apparently, dampfbox is a plastic microvawe steam cooker thing. You are a cooking channel now, I suppose. How many languages does this toy support? @noctilua Right now it does French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish by default with Hindi, Indonesian and Japanese in beta. If it fucks up German I have literally 0 hope for harder translation like Japanese @BrodieOnLinux can be changed, but a page refresh changes it back for me :throwing_hands_up_crying: pls let me turn it off @BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social I believe it also works the other way around, from foreign languages to English.  @BrodieOnLinux I think I was hit by this already by using FreeTube, and one video, where an Ukrainian talks in English, had a German dub by default. (I'm in a country within the Germanosphere and I did not catch on immediately, as I was sure this is a bit by the creator.) @BrodieOnLinux I'm honestly interested how good (bad) would that look for Slavic languages. Not Russian, I'm talking about superior Balkan languages. |
The real title of today's video is:
"Is Fremont the Rebirth Of Valve's Steam Machines"
Youtube's AI decided that the german title should be:
"neue Dampfbox"
You don't need to know any German to know that most of the context was deleted
