Microsoft Windows 10 features official Chinese promo: God translation thoroughly watched drunk

  

Windows 10 will be available for sale in more than 100 countries around the world including China on July 29.

Recently, Microsoft announced the official Chinese video for Windows 10, which introduces many new features of the new operating system, such as Xiaona Voice Assistant, Microsoft Edge browser and cross-platform applications.

However, the hard-to-find translations in the video are completely drunk, and some places have even reached the point where they can't read them (click to watch the official Chinese video on Windows 10).









In fact, translation problems have always been a pain in foreign technology companies. In addition to Microsoft, the most typical is Apple, the translation of its Chinese official website has been repeatedly squandered.

In this regard, the author believes that the difference in language and culture is the fundamental factor that contributes to "God Translation". Foreign technology companies hope to use the shortest language to highlight the characteristics of the product, while creating a simple and tall feeling, and this style will often have a dumb copy after the literal translation.

As a positive example, we found a Windows 10 promo (click to watch) that was translated and translated by netizen FringEric. Is the Chinese sentence read more smoothly?
