What’s the difference between pop singer/general nuisance Justin Bieber, and Sexion D’Assaut, a French rap group from the Paris region?
According to Google Translate: none.
There’s a perfectly rational explanation behind the mix-up: Google Translate is a participatory platform, where users can suggest alternate translations just by clicking on the “Improve this translation” button.
The changes are then included in future updates to the translation process, much to the delight of Bieber and/or Sexion d’Assaut trolls.
Don’t beliebe us? See for yourselves — before it gets fixed.
