For reddit things get even worse: not all commenters realize that the original post has been translated, so you get a flood of comments from people commenting in their native language. Getting modern day tower of babel vibes from that.
- rightbyte 1y agoYe it is some sort of dark pattern and deception to auto-translate like that. It took me some minutes to realize what was happening. At first I though it was some language specific sub before too many post had strange language. Fake culture and putting things in the a strange cultural context and trying to hide it.
- gs17 1y ago> not all commenters realize that the original post has been translated Does it actually say it is somewhere obvious? My girlfriend and I both looked something up and each got the same Reddit thread, but one in English and one in Chinese. She had no idea hers was translated. But I also thought it was supposed to do the reverse if someone comments in the translated language, adding an original-language comment instead of a translated-language one.
- passwd 1y agoDepends what you consider obvious - there's a parameter in the URL, I think called `tl`, which you can remove to get the original.
