Hi there,

since some weeks the translation of Latvian texts has become worse
than before. Especially names of persons or places are becoming
COMPLETELY false in the moment. In my interpretation, the database
must have been corrupted, th esoftware has BIG SEVERE bugs of
something has been manipulated.

Some examples of today, the source is a public web portal DELFI.LV:

Source:
Valsts prezidenta Valda Zatlera piedāvātajā Satversmes grozījumu
redakcijā iekļautais Saeimas atlaišanai nepieciešamais kvorums ir
kompromiss, ...

Translation:
State President Vaira Vike-Freiberga proposed constitutional amendment
to the version included in the Parliament for dismissal of the
required quorum is a compromise, ...

Here, almost in all texts the correct name of the present president of
Latvia Valdis Zatlers (declinated or not) is beeing translated into
the name of the FORMER President Vaira Vike-Freiberga, who is out of
office for 18 month !!!


Even worse is this one:

Source:
Džeimss Blānts Rīgā izpildīs savas populārākās dziesmas

( Džeimss Blānts is the Latvian spelling of James Blunt ).


Translation:
Adolf Hitler in Riga will perform their most popular songs

In the WHOLE TEXT all occurances of James Blunt (Džeimss Blānts) are
translated as ADOLF HITLER !!!

This is SUCH A BIG SHAME for this service and I can not find ANY
plausible cause that such kind of mistranslations could happen ...


I made SO MANY translation proposals on these very obvious errors and
nothing is happening. Looks like GOOGLE has lost people with common
sense and linguistics ...

regards,

Jurgens
