Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Oh man is translation not possible with AI. You have no idea how little languages have in common. A lot of terms don't mean a thing, but combine concepts you don't have or associate to point at a thing.
My dad said, about learning a new language, ''cat means cat, not gato, don't translate'' and I think that holds up pretty well from my experience.
You can't be serious, buddy. I'm translating an entire episode with ai and it's turning out better than the Netflix translation!
I worked for a huge software company who spent boatloads of money trying to to get AI to do translation, interpretation or localization and I can confirm with the absolute authority of someone who watched that dumpster fire first hand that AI will NOT be taking those tasks for a while.
If you're not knowledgeable about the topic you should comment about it.
Has this also been translated by an AI, or am I missing the point?
You're missing the point. You're so woefully uneducated on the topic you don't understand how Google translate was around for ages and didn't replace interpretation, translation or localization. Why do you think that is? Maybe you should do some research there.
So, no one mentioned Google Translate. Are you guys seriously relying on Google Translate? Plus, your grammar is, uh, perfect.
Your company must be very unsuccessful in this business.
I guarantee it outperforms whatever menial labor job you do.
Fucking Christ, dude. Chill.
How could you even determine that? And if you have a translation available and you know what's wrong with it, why wouldn't you simply fix the mistakes? What do you need the AI for?
Spoiler
Netflix subs are often quite shit, so I don't doubt that you could improve them, with or without the help of an LLM.Are Netflix translations done by AI?
