AI translation errors found across multiple languages on dev.to sites

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A software development team discovered over a thousand mistranslations across their websites, where words from one language appeared within sentences of another. These errors, generated by automated translation models, included Chinese characters in Hungarian, Russian words in Greek, and entire lines of Thai text on Khmer pages. The team implemented a new, stricter checking system that flags any foreign characters not present in the original source text or commonly accepted Latin characters, significantly reducing the number of incorrect translations published.
