With various translation tools getting more and more powerful, is it potentially time to reconsider this policy?
Something along the lines of please do English articles unless you absolutely can't?
- dang 4y agoMaybe, but I don't think so. The non-English articles that get submitted are usually current-affairs pieces. If we were seeing a lot of obscure, intellectually interesting content that really hit the HN sweet spot, that would be a stronger case—certainly such content exists in many languages. But it's not what people pick to post here.
- aaomidi 4y agoGood point!
- AnnikaL 4y agoThis article opens with a video clip of a reporter speaking in Swedish about Erdogan/Turkey's opinions on Sweden and Finland joining NATO. Although there are captions, manually typing in each caption to a translation service seems very tedious.
