Way to go guys!

"Ruh" is the German name for Roo from the Winnie-the-Pooh stories (Kanga & Roo → Kängu & Ruh), so I guess someone gave the network some A. A. Milne to read.
I wonder if you could find more artifacts like this to find the training data they used.

#46I've read a few million words of French—nothing special, but enough that if a text gives me trouble, then it's also likely to break Google Translate. Over the years, I've collected a few example texts which give Google Translate an especially hard time, and I use those for testing other machine learning systems. DeepL performs significantly better on the most difficult texts I've given it. It's substantially better w…
It's amazing how much nautical language and references contribute to colloquial phrases. It may be just the company I keep but I find it consistently comes up in French.

There's no ambiguity in the second sentence. The translation is simply wrong.

#48I probably should have checked the drop down of supported languages before typing Japanese. :)
I was a bit shocked at first when it was classified as German and then French.

No, there is ambiguity.
"I saw some weird fruit flies." "What were they like?" "They were like bananas." "Fruit flies like bananas?" "Yeah, they were implausibly yellow and banana-shaped."

That’s a pretty evil (smart) test. Love the ambiguity! I’m sure the MT community has lists of these. Any links to such a list?
