Chapter 1012: Google's Unwarranted Disaster

Riddit's traffic ranks among the top five in the world, and there are countless netizens who soak in this forum every day, and the activity is quite high.

If you open this website for the first time, it is estimated that everyone will not believe their eyes, because its pages are simple, the graphics are boring, and there are large paragraphs of text, these are not the current popular exquisite web pages CCTV, more like the early 2000s antique website.

From a certain point of view, it has a similar format to a forum, which is often a post followed by various comments.

Website positioning is unique, it is the source of fresh and trending events on the page, no matter what you want to see, you can find the most interesting sections.

There are more than a million sections, with huge differences in size, some with only 3 users, while others have 30 million users, including news, politics, sports, music, fun pictures, and more!

Obviously, it's similar to the post bar and the Douban group, and it belongs to the favorite website of foreign people.

Everyone can post a link, and the link with the most likes rises to the very top of the page.

The "Reading" section is not small, and there are many people around the world who love to read books, and they recommend to each other, communicate with each other, and discuss the works they read and interesting things that are happening.

And the link floating at the top of the reading section today is a post by Ivan Wilson, which has more than 200,000 likes!

[You will never believe this, I actually missed the author of "The Lord of the Rings" perfectly!]

In recent months, "The Lord of the Rings" has been the most popular book in the reading section, and readers from different countries have been discussing it, and even getting together to analyze the various races in it, trying to popularize the elven language, and so on.

It can be said that the global popularity of "The Lord of the Rings" is inseparable from the help of Reddit, and readers on several continents can get together to chat, thus radiating.

Just from the title, you can see how annoyed the person who posted this post is that he actually missed his favorite work.

[I'm the owner of a library bar with several shelves full of books for people who drink to read. When I arrived at the bar this afternoon, the waitress told me that someone knew about the origin of the Green Dragon Tavern last night.

At that time, I just thought I had met a reader who also liked The Lord of the Rings, and there were many such readers.

Something unexpected happened, when I took The Lord of the Rings off the bookshelf, I found a sticky note paper inside.

[Picture]

When I saw the contents of this sticky note, I thought it was a joke on purpose, so I asked the waiter to confirm my appearance, and then I found out that it was really the author of "The Lord of the Rings", and he came to New Zealand for a vacation!

This was confirmed when I checked the passport information he left at the hotel through some unlegal means, but he had already checked out and left this morning.

God, why did I be lazy last night, I have my own bar, why would I go to someone else's bar with my friends!

But this sticky note has been saved by me as a souvenir!]

Foreign media generally don't pay attention to the small things in the domestic media, for example, they didn't report the news of Zhang Chu's vacation before.

Now after this post was issued, it quickly surprised netizens in the reading section, and it was also a little regrettable.

"It's a pity, who would have thought that you would pass by!"

"Library bar in New Zealand? I'm sure I've been there. ”

"He really knows how to use elven script, and this kind of writing can really be used normally, but unfortunately I can't understand it. ”

"I don't know how to comfort you, but you at least have a sticky note, and we don't have anything!"

"There are so many things in my heart that I want to communicate with this author. ”

"It's so cute!"

"I don't know why this is happening, I'm sorry for you!"

Of course, there are still some netizens who are not clear about the content of the book and do not know who the author of the book is.

However, as long as you can understand English, there is no communication barrier, and the rest of the content can be discovered slowly.

The Internet is all connected, and the photo of that sticky note paper actually spread on the Internet.

A lot of the media is staring at Reddit, and now there is such a hot topic, and it is a small anecdote between a well-known writer and a reader, and the newseditors are quickly publishing the experience into the news for more people to see.

It is estimated that Zhang Chu himself did not expect that what he wrote by hand could become a hot topic on the Internet, so that many netizens shared it.

When there are no international events and no Hollywood explosion news, this kind of news is still quite marketable!

Many people rushed to search for the name Zhang Chu and the title of the Lord of the Rings, wanting to know what was going on, what kind of work could be so attractive, and why there were completely incomprehensible words in the picture.

Google Translate is a tool that many people use in their lives, and it is a free service that provides instant translations between more than 80 languages.

When they're translating into translation, they'll look up patterns in millions of documents, and they're all machine translations, not the most perfect kind, but they can be understood.

But this time, he planted a heel on the sticky note paper handwritten by Zhang Chu!

It can be translated with a camera, and even handwritten text can be recognized.

The first part of the English part is very simple, and they are all fairly common words, but the string of words at the end that looks like a distortion of the English alphabet has stumped Google's system, and even its artificial intelligence does not know what the words are, let alone translate those meanings.

Those netizens who were full of confidence and used Google Translate were stunned, they all thought that this thing was omnipotent, but they didn't expect that there would be times when they couldn't recognize it!

There are millions of people who have watched "The Lord of the Rings", but compared to netizens around the world, it is only a drop in the ocean, accounting for a very small proportion.

Most people don't know Elvish.

"What's going on?"

"Are these words scribbled randomly?"

"Google is so disappointing!"

"Can anyone tell me what kind of text this is and what each character represents?"

Even Zhang Chu's most die-hard fans may not be able to master Elfish language, and there are too few people who can really learn a new language on their own, and it is extremely rare.

Without a dictionary reference, translation is almost impossible.

Previously, when "The Lord of the Rings" was first released, a simple website was published as a dictionary, but the content in it was incomplete, and most of the content looked similar, and if you didn't pay attention to it, you could make a mistake!

Google, as an Internet giant, has of course been paying attention to the movements on the Internet, and when millions of netizens were complaining about Google Translate, their engineers quickly moved to find a solution.

On this planet, who can better than the author of The Lord of the Rings when it comes to mastery of Elven language?
