We don't need humans in #translation and #localization anymore, huh?
Let's put some #MachineTranslation services to the test with a simple English idiom!
"I'm a lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets" and its variations mean that you're one kind of person in public, but another in private, often with other words inserted to humorous effect.
Let's see how #GoogleTranslate, #DeepL, #ChatGPT and #Deepseek handle this for English to #German.
Conclusion in the comments.
Oh gawd I don't think this one is an improvement from https://hachyderm.io/@liztai/114244884866516383
PS: Drama is A Moment But Forever.
Google translate, which I use a lot, despite Google*, seems to have gotten infected with "AI" of late. It's very noticable how much shittier it got even for simple phrases.
Todays gibberish includes:
"select the declaration Buddha"
"We decorate for understanding"
#GoogleTranslate #LLM #Enshittification
* Nobody else seems to have a functioning API that works with Crow translate and speaks Lithuanian

Desperately trying to deGoogle but until I can get a translate app that does English-Thai that is as useful as the G one.. I will have to remain tethered to at least one thing. #deGoogle #GoogleTranslate #Thai

#Kreikka'a osaavia kaivataan: tuherrus nokialaisesta onnikasta. #GoogleTranslate tarjoaa mm. ”Minä nukun”, ”Keitän sinulle kahvia”, ”Teen sinulle kupin” ja ”Aion naida sinua ” aivan pienillä eroilla kokeillussa tekstissä. Kaveri guuglasi, että tarkoittaisi englanniksi ”Separate my dishes”, joka taas olisi idiomi ’eroan sinusta’. #graffiti #töhry #monikulttuurisuus

Google Translate still needs some work…
It translates "I'm 𝗻𝗼𝘁 looking forward to it" in Dutch to "I look forward to it". 
This is called undesirable correlation. It looks like left panel (Detect language) asks you to drag and drop and right one (English) to choose a file.
In reality, both actions apply to the left one! Or to the entire UI, if you will
Anyway, try to avoid
Google Translate thinks anime "Gushing over Magical Girls" is... "Madoka Magica".
I think the knowledge engine isn't updated with new anime, and it assumes that it's close enough.
A similar type of issue happens if you put anime 'delicious in dungeon', with any type of quote marks: https://sakurajima.moe/@anianimalsmoe/111890741455224778
Google translate is horribly wrong in thinking that the anime "Delicious in Dungeon" is "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon" in Japanese.
I'm guessing that google thinks that Anime + Dungeon = DanMachi.
