Viewing Forum on TV4 was in the days to hear from viewers who felt the text translation to a program as “pathetic”. After it was discovered that it was a robot that made the translation sounded criticism not long in coming from elsewhere.
The subtitles can be strange, there are many examples on.
A TV4 viewers did not accept that the odd units destroyed the experience of the program. It was the end of the cooking program, The entire Australia bake as one of the participants said: You have to take it on the chin (roughly: You must take it with a back-heel). This was translated in the subtitles of You must take it on the chin, writes TVdags.se.
This was freed from all human thought, thought the viewer, who called the miss of pathetic.
TV4′s customer contact responded that it was “sad that it was poorly translated. It’s automatic translation so it happens that it gets a little crazy sometimes.”
When others heard of the received the similar response: “A computer translates certain programs and then there is a greater risk that the sentences of this type is translated verbatim”.
After that it clarified that the channel uses the robotic translations into their broadcasts many became upset. Here is a selection of the comments that appeared on TV4′s website on Wednesday, according to Expressen.
“It is terrible disrespectful towards the viewer not to offer a proper translation. Do the producers that you butcher their programs in this way? I hope that you immediately abandon the machine translations and instead hires professional subtitlers – to reasonable compensation! “
” Scandal! How long have you worked with machine translation? It is completely incomprehensible. I’m flabbergasted. “
” I hope this is a joke. You pretend to be a quality channel level with SVT, but everything is just about profits for you. “
” Absolutely incredible! It’s bad enough that you show completely rogue programs like “The unknown”, but this was a new low. I hope that those who produce programs that are abused by your machine translations learns of this. “
Now, however, TV4 out and deny that they would use the missiles. That it all said, is said to be due to a mistake.
“It was some kind of internal misunderstandings that I keep on investigating. It was some kind of human factor where there was a misunderstanding, “says Cecilia Sahlford, director of customer service and look at TV4 Expressen.
