The future of translation. This is Microsoft Translator's own page, and they've decided to machine translate it (and a bunch of linked pages) to Finnish. The result is something to behold. Nearly all compound words are separated, it's full of strange idioms, faulty inflections and broken grammar. Some links in the footer: Download center -> "Center of Espoo" (city in FI); Manage cookies -> "Uber-cookies"; ??? -> "Isn't".

I have finished Chapter 3 of "The Analects of Confucius: An Internet Translation for Internet People." The page is also now more legible on mobile.

Featuring several episodes of "The Ji Clan Is At It Again," plus:

The Master remarked “Prime Minister Guan Zhong had a really small ‘jug,’ if you know what I mean!” Someone guessed: “… You mean he was frugal?” Confucius scoffed.

Wish #Steam already had a function to sort things out not only by text #localization, but by explicitly voice as well. I don't play games in my native language if they don't have #voiceover.s. It's like reading a book in #Ukrainian while listening to an #English #audiobook. Then I would just listen and not read at all.
