[News.eclipse.foundation] Re: [PROJECT] - Localization and Translation T

["exquisitus" <roelandm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The enthusiasm is nice but, I have yet to see a non-human translator that
works. The best there is, is barely adequate for the amusement of those that
know multiple languages. The mistakes they make are hilarious, as I'm sure
you are aware.

Translation has to still be done by real humans, unfortunately. The
AI-translation-state-of-the-art isn't even close yet.
