Q: Some of these questions are in a foreign language.
A: So? You can't read every language? Well - do you have access to Google Translate?
If someone thinks that the nuances of offensiveness, which are cultural *and* language related rather than an absolute truth, can be passed via Google translate, then they have a completely different view on how to judge behvaiour than mine.
- inteoryx 5y agoI was just trying to glibly acknowledge that some tweets are in a different language. I didn't filter those out. I do expect it will hinder the user's ability to tell which is offensive or not, but I don't think it will make much difference either way.
- thaumasiotes 5y agoThat is obviously humorous, but your point is addressed immediately following: >> You might think I'm just being lazy by refusing to filter out non-English tweets, but in reality, maybe I'm helping you grasp the scale of the offensiveness identification problem.
