Reddit auto translation is horrible. It’s an extremely frustrating feeling, starting to read something in your language believing it’s local, until you reach a weird phrase and realise it’s translated English.

It’s also clearly confusing users, as you get replies in a random language, obviously made by people who read an auto translation and thought they were continuing the conversation in their native language.

I will google for something in French when I don't find the results I want in English. Sometimes google will return links to English threads (that I've already seen and decided were worthless!) auto-tranalated to French. As if that were any help at all..
