Remove google translate

jorgengack

Google translate should be removed from scratch for the following reasons:
It is making scratcher's translator projects useless
keyword 1: parrot
Scratchers sometimes remix translators and make them run on a script that uses google translate
keyword 2: helmet
Google translate is an inaccurate, overrated program that logs everything you type into it
final keyword: chicken

Although Google Translate may be inaccurate, it's more accurate than it was 5 years ago. Having something that isn't perfect is better that having nothing at all. Would you rather have a project translated into 4 languages that is 90% accurate (yet understandable), and have a wider audience, or have it only in english?

“Parrot helmet chicken”? Wut is that? lol

If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. Many Scratchers like the Google Translate extension. Just because some people use it in ways you don't like doesn't mean the Scratch Team should get rid of their enjoyment.

As other people have said. This extension is very useful, especially for making Scratch more inclusive of people who speak different languages. If you don't like the extension, don't use it.

While it may not be the most accurate, many people of different languages use Scratch, and having this extension can help people who do not know the language in which the project was originally made if the creator uses this.

If you don't like it, you don't have to use it.

If you prefer said projects they are still up for use.

As a general purpose translating tool it works like a charm. It may not be 100% grammatically perfect, but it gets the point across and that's the main point. Is it overrated? Well that's up for debate. And as for the logging well, I don't know enough about this to comment about it but that's something most people won't mind.

; Santa Claus and Mrs Claus wanted to get a devorce. However, being in the north pole, there was no one there to help them do that. So they used a semi colon instead; they are great for seperating two independent clauses.

He means that Translate is effectively a keylogger, stealing whatever you type into it and sending it to Google. And I do mind that Google is invading my privacy, so yeah. Semi-support. Don't use it, but you have a point.

It feels weird to see how far we've come. I hope you're well, wherever you are!

I’m pretty sure this whole site uses Google analytics so… At least with Google translate you usually tell when you are typing into it.

Ok, well, you probably could've created a new thread and put this someplace else. Not create a random post on a thread that doesn't even relate.

The Questions about Scratch or Bugs and Glitches forum would be best.

don't feed the trolls. feed yourself pizza cupcakez
