TL;DR: Mozilla is killing localization on Support Mozilla, overwriting articles written by humans with machine generated translations. Although Mozilla knows that their AI doesn’t localize or adhere to style guides, Mozilla is going live with it anyway. I thank locale leaders and localizers for their tireless efforts. Locale leaders seem to be obviated by AI, and Mozilla has nothing to say about it.
You can’t tell if this one is baseless or not?
Your source is a blog with a stupid anecdote from Japan as its main feature. Why should I take that seriously?
Why did Mozilla staff take it seriously enough to immediately offer to get on a call with the writer of the stupid anecdote?
Because Mozilla isn’t the scumbag company the blog tries to paint them as.
So we should take it seriously.
Thanks for clarifying!
“I hear yoasif is always trying to fuck the neighbor’s dog.”
“No, that’s stupid, of course I’m not.”
“Oh so you’re acknowledging it? Guess that means we should take the claim seriously!”
🙄
Ngl, I haven’t read the article, I’m not defending or talking about Mozilla. But holy shit was that stupid logic.
The reason it works is because Mozilla staff isn’t going to offer to call any random person with a “stupid anecdote”.
