TL;DR: Mozilla is killing localization on Support Mozilla, overwriting articles written by humans with machine generated translations. Although Mozilla knows that their AI doesn’t localize or adhere to style guides, Mozilla is going live with it anyway. I thank locale leaders and localizers for their tireless efforts. Locale leaders seem to be obviated by AI, and Mozilla has nothing to say about it.

    Because on every machine where I open Firefox for the first time, I have to tell it not to translate my language. It’s a small dance I have to do every so often. Bit annoying, innit.

      It doesn’t translate anything automatically, you have to choose translation manually for a site in a foreign language. It ALWAYS shows the original first.
      So that’s complete and utter made up bullshit.
