minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink27•21 hours agoOh that’s makes sense, I thought Bing was translating it from French to English before reading this
minus-square@yggdarlink9•20 hours agoCorrect! The translation is fine, except that “fan” was interpreted as the device that moves air.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•21 hours agoI’ve seen English subtitles of Spanish media making this mistake too. Ventilador is fan in Spanish but they always translate it to ventilator in English (where it should be fan). It’s always a good laugh. Also the mil/millón mixup is funny too.
