Default Skype Translator has Tourette’s

While it might be heralded as a replacement for translators, Microsoft’s Skype Translator has a tendency to swear.

To be fair, when we do translations we have the same tendency. Then we are only human and people use the word paradigm far too much. It’s an old idea. It’s called barmicide.

Microsoft launched Skype Translator to provide real time voice and text translations. It launched with Chinese and Italian language support and promised more languages later.

According to the Chinese Global Times normal conversations are being translated in Skype with a four letter word added.

What Microsoft researchers did not realise was the Great Firewall obstructs Skype from working consistently and it reads the missing bits as words.
