Friprogramvarusyndikatet<a href="https://framapiaf.org/@peertube" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@peertube</a> There seems to be a change in the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/weblate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#weblate</a> update process of translation strings (now twice in a row). Unfortunately this is to the worse. The English strings are copied to the target language strings automatically which makes it much harder and works against weblates support of your workflow in many cases. Please keep the *new* target language strings empty like previously. The <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/deepl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deepl</a> too many dictionaries error seems to be partially fixed though. Cheers.

Christopher BergmannWhen translating into certain languages, <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/DeepL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DeepL</a> offers a switch for ‘formal’ or ‘informal’ language. I assumed that this means that pronouns like tu/du/jij etc. will be used in informal mode, whereas vous/Sie/u etc. will be used in formal mode.Recently I encountered an ‘informal’ <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/translation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#translation</a> of ‘Please complete all content above before continuing’ into German: ‘Mach erst mal das da oben, bevor du weitermachst.’ (Roughly: ‘Do the stuff above before moving on’)What’s going on here? 🧵<a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/xl8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xl8</a>

Christopher BergmannFormality in language is more complex than a switch in <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/DeepL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DeepL</a>, which conflates two aspects:One of them is pronoun usage, which expresses the social relationship between interlocutors. The other is the formality of the language used throughout the sentence.In a 2×2 matrix of both levels, each box contains perfectly natural language use. It is possible to use ‘formal’ pronouns while speaking in an informal style – or the other way around. But how would a translation engine know that?

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmar<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/GoogleTranslate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoogleTranslate</a> seems to be getting worse and worse, sometimes omitting entire sentences or ignoring meaningful words.Hilariously, it also attempts to translate all-digits dates but then messes them up so they become a completely different date somehow. E.g. 2025-05-26 somehow becomes January 1996 🤷<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/DeepL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DeepL</a> is going the other way, getting quite good now, even at more obscure stuff like blog posts with wordplay and spelling errors.This observation is based mostly on Lithuanian/English examples.<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Translation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Translation</a>
