Is Google Translate sexist or racist?
Ғылым және технология
Google Translate, the best way to butcher a foreign language since sketch shows from the 1990s.
Since it launched, this tool has become an invaluable way for everyone to understand people from other countries AND hilarious videos where lyrics don’t make sense when they go back into their original language.
But has this code gone bad? And if so, why is it giving sexist or racist answers? Let's discuss!

Yup. Just happened to me: Booked a flight on Lufthansa. I am a female PhD. Selected "Dr" as my title. Found out later it was through partner airline Eurowings, who I guess didn't have "Dr" as an option, so they put "Mr" on my boarding card. That made for some awkward looks on my flights. Thank you, shit sexist translation tools!

Jesus! Firstly, I'm so sorry to hear that. And secondly I'm not surprised. Wow. That's such bad planning on their side 🙃
KITTEN is that a tin foil shower cap on Simon-in-a-hat?

Well spotted (on both fronts). It is a shower cap. My video budget has gone up 😅
Even though I didn't pause the video, I found out that the Esperanto version is katido (thanks Google Translate!)

Mel (the singer) emailed twice to *confirm* that was the lyric 😅
Correct me if I am wrong, but "gendered words" such as masculine and feminine words in grammar has very little to do with actual male/female genders as far as I know, so the language model defaulting to the masculine form in a translation doesn't really come across as specifically being sexist (unlike when it considers doctors to be male by default and nurses female by default)

In many languages (for example mine), doctor is a masculine word while nurse is a feminine word. I don't find it hard to believe this is a thing elsewhere
In English, we tend not to use gender for items. Unlike English /French "the table" / "la table" or "the manager" / "le directeur".

True! But the translation should take it into account better even if only one side uses gender. 😁
Kitten, or chaton, in French. At least according to Google 🧐

Maybe this needs an update post Gemini (or maybe Gemini _was_ the update post this observation)

I was so tempted to put something in about this. But I spent ages trying to tweak the video because they flagged my use of Let It Go that I had to let the video go as it. But yes, it's all linked. And it's not just Google
It isnt racist if it does it equaly to every lenguaje

So much is lost in translation. Some non-binary A.I. will probably have to fix this non issue :)

Maybe. I think male and female words matter in a lot of languages. So it doesn't need to ignore it all. It just needs to not be... Erm... Careless 😅
