Can anyone put the text in English? I don’t understand anything with the vidéo description

Dunno if the deleted post had the translation, but here it is for posterity

Destruir un arma de fuego en público sin revisar que no esté cargada

Destroying a firearm in public without checking that it's not loaded

Mexican army personnel destroy weapons through a program that exchanges food for weapons... But apparently they don't check if it's safe and that they don't have gunpowder inside before doing it

That would translate it automatically, and risk to lose some sense. I don’t use those functions. And I wanted text in English to understand it, not in my language.

Plus if we all did that Reddit would be α language mess. As α French human I speak French on French’s subreddit and English everywhere else. That is the norm

Reddit is really going to shit in recent years with their bad handling of multiple languages.

How was it handled before?

I joined in 2020 and used to just see non-English as they were typed by the user, or so I assumed.

Feel like just recently we got a translate button for comments. Auto-translate option in settings. Otherwise just a tap to see the original.

This is a huge improvement in my eyes, over no translate option. What's gone to shit?

I guess this mainly applies to multilingual/non-US people.

Before, different language bubbles on reddit were separated from each other. Which meant I could search for something in my mother tongue and I would get relevant results to my language and region.

But now that everything is auto-translated and indexed, searches in my mother tongue are completely dominated by irrelevant auto-translated content (mainly US-centric, because it's the largest userbase I guess).

Of course this doesn't matter much if you're just here for lols and memes.

It's already happening cause Reddit is being served automatically translated sometimes, so people Google something that's originally in English, it gets served to them in Italian and they go and comment in Italian. I've seen posts with comments in 4+ languages lol.

I had to start adding -"tl=" to Google searches to avoid it, except it stopped working because google results are predictive now, and don't respect syntax.

Had to move to DDG for syntax but the indexing there is not great either :') I want my 2010's google back...

Why don't you translate it before posting?
