To be honest, I'm pretty sure there are more people at Google than just ES doing the .

Unfortunately we've been reduced to muahahaha-ing at each other over teleconference. It's just not the same.
Here's almost everything I know about Google Translate:
It is AI, and the models are trained using mostly books but also websites that have been human-translated into various languages. Like almost the whole of human written literature, replete with its centuries of cultural biases baked right in.
We (or I guess "they" since it's nothing to do with my jerb specifically) have to be careful now with the websites we source these days, because many websites have been translated into other languages
using Google Translate, and training an AI model on the very data it produces creates a feedback loop and that is (probably fairly obviously) not good.
I know one other thing but I'm late for a meeting so maybe I'll tell you later.
