I asked ChatGPT to translate a meme and now GPT talks to me like:

This is what my German teacher meant when he said that I'd "need it someday".

Supertoll. Danke schön. Ich hätte auch gerne ein Pedalo.

Oh hey I understand that! It says "Speak German to Spez".

If everyone made use of the post language feature, it would entirely solve this problem. Unfortunately (at least to my knowledge) it's not possible to set a default post language, so most content is just posted as Undetermined.

I almost always use it. Thunder has a little selector above the comment before I post it. Unfortunately only English (or perhaps the system language) is at the top for quick access.

Its no problem, just learn German by translating the memes.

I do, admittedly, find it fun to try and work out the meaning through context despite not being able to read German.

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 1 points 22 minutes ago

If you can read English, you can read (most of) German. The problem is likely more in understanding it.

Men hvorfor i all videste verden holde seg til tysk når kontinentet har så mange andre språk også? Det er like mye kveld her nordpå som der nede, om noen ikke kan samtlige språk er det vel det britene kaller "skill issue".

Ik spreek ook een beetje Nederlands en italiaans, maar het is grappig om spreken Zangendeutsch. Wij zijn rare mensen. Taalse zijn leuk.
