Please stop translating into languages you do not know.

On TranslateWiki and elsewhere, you should only translate into languages you have native or near-native competence in. This is a very basic requirement in the translation industry and the same applies here. From your Babel box, Northern Saami is not one of them and all of the ones I have seen have issues, some make no sense, and at least one of them has broken the UI on the Northern Saami Wikipedia. So again, please stop translating into languages you do not know on a native or near-native level. Kimberli Mäkäräinen (WMNO) (talk) 00:32, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Have you btw used Google Translate or some other MT tool to translate the articles about Scratch on various Wikipedias? - Kimberli Mäkäräinen (WMNO) (talk) 00:35, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

@Kimberli Mäkäräinen (WMNO): At least in Vietnamese, they blindly accepted whatever translation memory or Microsoft Translate suggested in every case. (I double-checked on Bing.) There are a lot of syntactic errors; the FUZZY feature caught some of these errors, but many more slipped through. Minh Nguyễn ^💬 04:45, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Ergh. They have also added translations on multiple wps in such diverse languages as Tibetan, Inuktitut, etc. Those should also be checked. - Kimberli Mäkäräinen (WMNO) (talk) 10:49, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Could you please stop polluting Wikipedias/Wikidata/Commons with this garbage too? MT for languages you do not know is not allowed on those sites either and you were still doing it today after you wrote your messages here. -Kimberli Mäkäräinen (WMNO) (talk) 22:43, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

This user continues to pollute small wikipedias with this garbage. After it being very clearly pointed out that the Northern Saami "translations" were complete garbage, this user still bothered to add a machine-translated garbage article about Scratch on the Northern Saami wp today. -Kimberli Mäkäräinen (WMNO) (talk) 15:44, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

I'm not talking about it's garbage Caden99 (talk) 17:20, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

To be blunt once more: Your "translations" are garbage. They make no sense whatsoever in the languages you are adding them in. Kimberli Mäkäräinen (WMNO) (talk) 17:26, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
