AI Translation of audiovisual content is already sub-par for Anything-to-English. Some may find it acceptable in some scenarios, others not.
But it gets much worse when it translates to other languages with more grammar features like gender distinction or declinations. The reason is quite simple: AI translation lacks context of the scene. For example: "Give it to me" could be "dÃmela" or "dÃmelo" in its literal sense or could be "castÃgame" in figurative sense. That's just a small example. I work in the industry and have yet to see an AI translation that considers any kind of context. It gets even worse when it tries to translate subtitles, where often longer sentences are split into several subtitles, and each one is translated separately, producing absolute nonsense.

New Hungarian Government OMGs All Gov Sites 59

An anonymous reader writes "The new Hungarian government chose to replace the home pages with a 'disclaimer' page on several governmental websites such as ministries or the Foreign Office. The title and the main message is 'OMG,' which is followed by an explanation that the inherited websites 'lack any kind of uniform structure' and this is 'unworthy of Hungary.' Today is the takeover day in most ministries for the new administration."
