What?? You mean there’s more to translating media than scraping together the literal translation of one language to another and calling it done??

Nah, those Spanish folks will totally get all the English idioms and phrasing they’ve likely never heard of, and will totally not be confused over the piss poor machine translation effort

Especially when it’s written in SEO-English which is frequently garbage in the first place.

Shit that’s why AI generated articles seem to just be vomiting keywords. I didn’t think it was possible for gaming journalism to get worse, but a bunch of nobody sites now have completely hilarious garbage articles
