“The subtitles are not reflecting accurately what’s being said. It should be fixed.”
@petertozser6386“Fix those subtitles important infos are missing.”
@Gary-1994“Can you guys hire someone to fix the subtitles for these videos? With a million subs, one would think you could put more effort into this than leaving the autogenerated/autotranslated subtitles in… those are awful” @bencem.1862
Various other commentors made corrections to specific parts, or even offered their services.
One of the funniest mistakes was at 5:43. The subtitles said, “You wouldn’t notice the car.” We tried to listen for something that sounded like “auto” and the closest we could find was a sigh of “oh.” What should the translation say? To be fair to the computer, Peter Magyar isn’t enunciating clearly at that point, but we look in the comments and we find something.
“5:43 “But you won’t notice the car” 😂😂😂😢😅
What a Translation.
Correctly: The lamp does not turn on automatically or The sensor does not detect.” @mihalyrozsvai2541
The subtitles to yet another news article have been messed up in a way that it seems only a computer could do.
We pointed out before some of the funny human errors in subtitles, but autotranslate is nothing like Waymo. When it comes to language, computers still make far more errors than humans do.
However, others complained about the complaints. Some called those complaining about the bad translations trolls from the last government. But more than a few offered their services for free.
“It doesn’t matter to me that the translation is not great – we get the point of the vid just the same.” @mard9802
And yes, we do get a sense of what is happening, because it is a visual piece. If it were someone sitting behind a desk, accurate subtitles would be even more important.
That said, there are a few comments that point out details which we can see in the subtitles. These weren’ț recently built buildings, they are renovations. However, Peter Magyar is claiming (perhaps he’s right) that they don’t look like the original. Opening these museums out to the public might be an idea.
It makes us wonder about the palaces in countries like Belgium, Britain, and Spain that are not open to the public. Even parts of the White House in the USA were off limits last time we visited (unless you were a special guest.)
But we see this again in the comments. There are claims that schools, hospitals, and other buildings were “left to rot.” Only those who lived in Hungary under Fidesz can say for sure.
“1:41 Since translation is horrible, I will tell you he says here that on one wall there is the name of Franz Josef Emperor of the Habsburg Empire and later the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, and on the other wall there is a sign about Viktor Orbán. The texts on the walls gives information about what happened to the building during their periods of rule.” @juditbako8008
One of the most pertinent corrections, however, is on the value of the building.
“One billion forints = 3.5-5 million dollars” @caninesandcompany
Still, we see a lot of angry comments. Are they in Hungarian? No, in English. We don’t know which were written by Hungarians. However, we do see some comments that look pro-Orban or anti-Magyar.
“You little liar. “We didn’t see that on the news either; they didn’t brag about it.”
“Yes, we did. It was on the news. And even though it was run by the Ministry of the Interior, there were guided tours on weekends, and you could go see it. Anyone who was curious could go check it out. -” @lyozsefmakk6160
Many others say that they were restored to the original look. But others disagreed.
In any case, we didn’t visit a lot of hospitals and schools in our stays in Hungary. Most of the country seemed to be very well kept, the roads were nicer than most of Eastern Europe and even some of Western Europe, so were the hotels, the zoos were amazing, so were the swimming pools. The museums were also amazing.
And those who called it a dictatorship, we went where we wanted, did not feel followed, except on the road. The traffic cops were extremely vigilant, especially compared to in Romania.
There were fewer stray dogs roaming the roads, fewer beggars following you around, and fewer visual abuses of power (compared to other parts of South Eastern Europe.
Like in Germany, you might get shouted at by a local for jaywalking.
