MicrosoftDev channel update to 87.0.654.0 is live
MissyQ I've been complaining about something being translated wrong for my language for a while now. It's literally one word.
I feel like there are no translators at Microsoft, because I've encountered some really weird translations. Either it's all AI-translated or the people who do it are really dumb. A lot of stuff is translated literally, with no context.
My guess is that it is all AI-translated.
Even when they do fix the translation errors, they usually reintroduce the error when they revise that area in the original language. While I base this assumption of my experience with correcting translations in Windows 10, it's my guess, that most strings, if not all, are machine translated these days. The issue with grammar mistakes in the translations will go away as AI becomes better at understanding langustic context, but for now, it still needs work.
The good news is that, in my experience, machine translations by the Microsoft Translator have come a long way since the beginning, to the point where it saves you more time than it creates 🙂
