In the landing page I could see this for French :
"Toujours produire" découvrira le métier de ta vie de la même façon que l'eau, aidée par la gravité, trouve le trou dans ton toit.
If you replace the first two words by "tu", and correct a minor mistake in the third one (add a "s" at the end), it has a meaning but otherwise not. I guess we cannot trust it to learn a language then.
- zansara 3y agoI'm learning French too but I can't see the mistakes you're pointing out... What would be the correct sentence?
- aconst 3y agoWell, I think that it actually has a meaning once you read it in context. Taken out of context it makes a really awkward sentence and made me think of an AI halucination....
- barrell 3y agoI believe that came from the official translation for paul graham's essay, but their site is down now and I can't confirm: https://penelope.jdsfriends.com/DWYL_francais.htm https://penelope.jdsfriends.com/DWYL_francais.htm Not saying it's correct, but it's definitely only going to be as good as it's inputs. If we gave it a bad translation, that's on us! Sorry
- aconst 3y agoSorry, I had not seen the english version it was the translation for. Both French and English version look awkward, they must be read in context ^^;
- vintermann 3y agoIf you do any sort of automatic attempts to discover parallel texts (and I can't understand how you can support "any show" otherwise), you're going to run into the problem of terrible translations, most of them made with machines.
- addandsubtract 3y agoYou're also going to get figurative translations instead of literal ones.
