A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I really like the idea, as long as there's some sort of quick switch, so you can shift back and forth between original and machine translated versions. Because machine translation can be sometimes great, sometimes awful; and when it's awful, and the language is one that you barely understand (written Catalan and Dutch, for me), sometimes it's actually worth to dig through the original.
