[–] Bagel5941@aussie.zone 9 points 2 years ago (2 children) It seems like the sign is trying to kill me in this translation. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Is that DeepL's app? I've never used it so I have no idea what the UI looks like and I didn't try to translate the sign's text with the web version. Edit: out of curiosity I tried out how the web version handles this sign: permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bagel5941@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah, it's the android version. To be fair, It looks like a problem with the OCR from the app rather than the translation. When I use the phone's native OCR and copy/paste the text into DeepL Translate, I get the same result as you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago Ah right, that definitely makes sense. I can imagine OCR'ing Kanji could be a bit of a nightmare permalink fedilink source parent [–] LwL@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I distrust DeepL ever since I found out it translates "irritating" into german as "irritierend" (which means confusing, and is a common mistranslation for obvious reasons). Though I'm sure google translate does similar dumb things. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Tja@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) It also does mean annoying/irritating, I don't think it's wrong. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LwL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Duden apparently agrees but it's a rare enough use case that I've never heard it used that way in my life, fair enough tho. Still not a great default tl but at least somewhat acceptable then. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Tja@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Could it be regional? I hear it relatively often in Munich in that meaning. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LwL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Maybe, since I live in the north! (Fwiw the meaning of irritating as in irritating skin is pretty common here too, just not as annoyance). permalink fedilink source parent
