Issues with Japanese translations using Canny's automatic translation
closed
SakuraNoel Fayray
Canny's automatic translation feature has issues with Japanese translations.
- Translates proper nouns that don't require translation, such as “SLua”
- Translates words within LSL scripts (e.g., “string”)
- Some characters in sentences are corrupted data-wise
Before login
- By default, it automatically translates to Japanese.
- On automatically translated pages, there is no way to view the original text.
- You cannot turn off automatic translation.
After logging in
- By default, it automatically translates to Japanese.
- On automatically translated pages, there is no way to view the original text.
- To turn off automatic translation, you must disable “Enable automatic translations” in Settings - Content translations.
Since there is no way to refer back to the original text from the translated page, please turn off Canny's automatic translation feature by default.
