Thank you for your interest in Uicipeid! Please could you use this page: https://gd.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cleachdaiche:ChefBear01/sandbox&action=edit&redlink=1 for experimentation because we don't have a namespace for drafts. You can of course create pages under your own username like on the English Wikipedia.

The page you created (Dreach: margaidh a-staigh rìoghachd aonaichte) is very relevant to Scotland so I shall see what I can do to tidy it up.

Google Translate: more than just tidying needed[deasaich an tùs]

Hello,

I have reverted the last change because using Google Translate to create a long article is really unhelpful.

  • Because it is not aware of Wiki syntax it breaks internal and external links and translates titles of web pages (which should not be translated without giving the original)
  • There are problems with the tokenisation model which means that the output in Gaelic puts apostrophes in the wrong place. This looks incredibly bizarre and is a dead giveaway that there are deeper errors.
  • In any case the language model behind it has not been trained with enough data to prevent nonsensical results. A recent Google Translated article was short enough for me to fix but large parts were simply not grammatical or full of words translated according to the American sense ('labour' springs to mind) or the wrong sense altogether.

It actually takes more effort to fix the job done by Google Translate than to translate it yourself or to write an entire article from scratch.

Please do not do this again. --CreagNamBathais (an deasbaireachd) 09:08, 7 dhen Dùbhlachd 2020 (UTC)[reply]
