This is an absolutely terrible idea. Today I learned about the French joke of asking an English speaker, "where is Brian?" It's about a language textbook, rather like "la plume de ma tante est dans le jardin". How do you get from Brian to pens in gardens? THAT'S the job of a translator.

This is a *great idea* - unless you actually have to read the book that has been machine translated! A-steach dhan mhuir leis a seo. And why not just cut out the authors too and make the books written by AI too? Just no. Thalla tech bros.

Amazon here, targeting the market consisting of people who for some reason buy books but don't actually like books, or writers, or reading. (Authors, please have nothing to do with this slop-dispenser, which will mangle your prose and put translators — your allies — out of work.)

Ag imirt: The Irish for kneel is níl. The Irish for down is domhan. The Irish for know is nó. The Irish for boss is bás.

Sgoinneil! Bu toil leam seo fhaicinn ann an Alba cuideachd. Tha mi anns an Dùn Bhreac far a bheil craobhan gu leòr ann agus bu toil leam barrachd dheth seo fhaicinn ann an Glaschu agus air feadh na dùthcha.
