More accurate translation on Connect

The translation that Connect uses could be much better.


I am very happy that I understand English and can read most of the content here without using the translation. When I turn on the translation, it's only when it's absolutely necessary. Often the content is distorted, if at all.


Especially in times of deep learning, there are better translation engines and you should use them!

I'm strongly agree, Ludwig - I had/have the same problems if I use the translator for Romanian from a different language - other than English, French or Italian. Unfortunately, I don't know German, a language of an amazing cultural world and, also, a huge number of artistic values... So, if I want to understand a message from German translated by Google into Romanian, huh! it's an impossible mission!

Hi @LudwigGermany and @DadaVFC. Problems with translation are known to be something hard to automate. Thank you for pointing it out. Would you like to specify which languages apart from Romanian you find wrongly translated?

@IrrPavlova I have noticed that Urdu to English translation is often sub standard and sometimes misleading. I am talking about Google Maps in particular.

For me it's German
