Substituting "Russia" for "Mordor" is oddly specific if this algorithm issue was caused without direct human input though.

- makomk 11y agoAs I understand it they're doing statistical translation - they compare versions of the same text in multiple languages and use it to automatically create a model of what things translate to. So if Ukranians are using the word "Mordor" instead of Russia when translating Russian text, then as far as Google Translate's concerned that's the correct translation of Russia.
