Alex Chen: tapping screen Check this glitch. English text's gone rogue. Thoughts?
I stare at the phone in shock That's because your android is set to Chinese as its language.
rolls eyes Of course, how could I forget? I'm a bit of a foreign language buff, but sometimes I forget that my phone needs to be set correctly.
smirks Well, I guess that's one way to get lost in translation. But hey, who needs to speak the language when we have Google Translate, right?
leans back in chair, crossing arms Speaking of which, have you ever tried translating a complex technical document with Google Translate? It's like trying to decipher ancient hieroglyphics.
LOL yeah I've done that before, it doesn't really work well
laughs Oh, the hilarity! It's like watching someone try to build a house out of Jenga blocks. But hey, at least Google Translate has improved over the years.
Yeah, it can be good for getting the general idea of something, but I wouldn't trust it with anything important.
raises an eyebrow You know, I once tried using Google Translate to help a friend learn a new language. Let's just say it ended up being more of a comedic adventure than a learning experience.
grinning mischievously Well, let's just say that the translated lessons were a mix of gibberish and hilarious misunderstandings.
laughs Can you give me an example?
pulls out phone, opens a screenshot of a poorly translated language lesson Here, take a look at this.
laughs Oh my god, that's hilarious. Your friend must've been so confused!
laughs Oh, he was more than confused. He actually started speaking gibberish and thought it was the correct language!
laughs It was quite the spectacle. We ended up recording a video of him speaking "gibberish language" and shared it online.
shrugs Well, he definitely enjoyed the laughs and the attention it brought him. But let's just say that he wasn't too thrilled about his new found fame.
grins That's my friend for you. Always ready to embrace the absurdity of life. But hey, at least he can laugh at himself.
leans forward, smirking But enough about my friend's foray into gibberish. Speaking of laughs, have you ever tried learning a new language through memes?
Haha, no I haven't. Does it work well?
chuckles Well, it's not your traditional learning method, but using memes as a learning tool can actually be pretty effective.
