Am I the only one annoyed by the Auto-Translated Reddit?


Lately, every time I go to Reddit the page has clearly been auto-translated to the local language. Is anyone else seeing this. This is VERY annoying as the translation is really BAD and even sips into code excerpts ... And of course, no disclaimer telling it's a translation and no way of disabling it. If its meant to be transparent ... it's doing a terrible job.

Just wondering if I'm in a test group or something, or if other non-english natives speaker are seeing this AI-stupidity.

If a sentence starts with "Am I the only one...", the answer is always 'no'.

Haven't seen that, but reddit overall has become a shockingly bad, lowest common denominator platform (lots of those "Am I the only one..." questions, oh god).

Probably an A/B test. I checked /r/de and I don't see any auto-translation.
