Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Fucking YouTube trying to translate everything into shitty French for me.

'The Honey scam' becomes 'The honey scam' in French (L'arnaque du miel), as in honey from bees. The "AI" can't even make the difference between a common and proper noun.

Reddit does the same through my Google searches. The original post is in English but Google and Reddit shows it to me in dubious French. It's quite obvious that it has been machine translated.

However bad translations unfortunately doesn't seem to bother a lot of people, nor stop the big corps to push them as much as possible.

I saw a similar issue on a product where the Spanish wording obviously came from a computer translation.

"Made in Turkey" was written as "Hecho en pavo."

Pavo is Spanish for turkey, the animal. Turquía is Spanish for Turkey, the country. A human, even a non-fluent speaker such as myself, would never make that mistake.
