Twitterati Tickles Over Google's Hilarious English To Hindi Translation
Google translation is known to tickle the bones of netizens every now and then, unknowingly. In the recent episode of Google's hilarious English to Hindi translations, the software translated “unworried” to “avaivahit”, which means ‘unmarried' in Hindi.
The incorrect translation was first pointed out by Mahesh Murthy, the popular Indian investor and marketer. Murthy tweeted about the glitch by posting a screenshot of the same on Twitter and pointed out that “Google probably needs Hindi-speaking linguists and AI/ML engineers :-)”.
