"Global Forum, real fake!"

"Is this going to be bigger?"

"There shouldn't be any company that would make this kind of forum, except for a gimmick, there is no benefit at all!"

"The most important thing is that the translation of the player's message is not simple, and this is not the official translation of the text."

"Upstairs is very right.,There are rules to follow in the words and phrases of the official text.,But the player's message is much more casual.,Like English, occasionally one more letter and one letter less.,How to translate it if you rely only on the program?"

"That's true, and in addition to these, there are some local slang words of foreign players that we don't know, and if you don't have context, you can't understand it at all!"

"It's like people often say, 'scared the baby to death', how do you translate it into a foreign language? Are you translating it literally, or whatever, it's too technically difficult!! ”

When the company announced the launch of the Global Player Forum, there was a huge discussion on the Internet, but in general, it was still much more bearish, because everyone knows that the language environment of each country is too different, and it may be okay for players to communicate simply, but it is almost impossible to communicate with their own people.

Therefore, when this news lasted for a few days, people almost all concluded that this was a large satellite released by Dao Technology, which could only be short-lived in the end and then disappear into the dust of history.

……

And just when people are generally not optimistic, this global player forum called "Unbounded" is officially launched!

As the most loyal player of "Stupid Birds Fly First" and "Angry Birds", although Sun Che also has a lot of doubts about the Unbounded Forum, he still has a trace of hope in his heart - what if it is true?

Therefore, at 6 o'clock in the afternoon this Friday, he sat in front of the computer on time, because this time is the time when the "Unbounded Forum" is officially launched.

After entering the URL in advance, when the bell rang at eighteen o'clock, Sun Che decisively clicked the enter key.

As the page refreshed, a brand new website appeared in front of him, but the humble page that appeared in front of him made Sun Che feel slightly disappointed.

I saw that the layout of the whole website was similar to that of other forums, with a line of words written at the top: "Boundless lines, boundless thinking, building an unbounded forum belonging to global players".

On the far left side of the page are several Microsoft Metro-style entrances, which are games, entertainment, current affairs, and gossip.

The middle area is the more popular posts officially recommended by the website, but it is still blank at present.

On the right is a leaderboard called "Fengyun Users", which is also temporarily blank.

It can be said that when Sun Che saw this scene, he basically agreed with other people's judgments in his heart, that is, the Unbounded Forum must not last long, because it is too simple!

You know, this is the first day you're online, in order to attract users, at least you have to have some photo news and the like, but you are a combination of words and deeds, saying that it belongs to the user's own forum, so it is really not recommended for any official content, just waiting for the players to post themselves?

"The only good thing about the whole forum...... It's probably just simple, at least not those floating ads that get in the way. ”

Sun Che muttered to himself in self-deprecation, and then pressed F5 with a hint of anticipation that even he hadn't noticed.

And after the page was refreshed again, he found that a post appeared in the blank popular post area in the center, and the current number of replies has reached 15, and the most attractive thing is the name of the post - hello, the world.

"Hello, world?"

Sun Che looked at this title and was a little stunned for a while.

Although we have now entered the age of the Internet, and news about what happens in the United States can reach China in a matter of seconds, the communication between netizens between the two countries is far from real-time communication, and people still have to rely on television or the most traditional word of mouth to know the living conditions of people in other countries.

And how can the facts obtained in this way be more true than those obtained from the mouths of foreign people?

How can "Hello, the world" be so easy to do?

After a full half a minute, Sun Che came back to his senses, and then clicked in.

And when Sun Che entered the post page and saw the content inside, he was suddenly stunned-

First floor: Hello everyone, my name is Li Fei, and I am from Guangdong Province, China!

2nd Floor: Good morning, everyone, oh, I'm sorry, maybe I should say good afternoon to my friends in China, my name is Pete, and I'm from Texas, USA.

3rd Floor: Hi, I'm from Berlin, Germany, where are you from?

4th Floor: Hello, may Allah bless you, I am Faisal from Arabia.

Fifth floor: The Internet speed of a few friends upstairs is so fast, I am Chen Dongdong from Xishan Province, Huaguo, hehe, I don't know if the website will translate it for you Dongdong Chen.

Sixth floor: Are there any British friends, I'm Aldridge from Liverpool, Liverpool's friends, cheer!

7th Floor: I guess I'm probably the only one from Norway, my name is Amanda.

8th Floor: Hello everyone, I'm Taniela from Buenos Aires and I want to be friends with all of you!

9th Floor: I'm Andres from Spain, and I've heard that you can make friends with people from all over the world, right?

10th Floor: I'm from Saudi Arabia......

11th Floor: I'm from Thailand......

Twelfth floor: I'm from Treasure Island......

Thirteenth Floor: I'm from Malaysia......

Fourteenth floor: I'm from Ottawa, Canada......

15th Floor: I'm from Huaguo......

……

Sun Che didn't have any impatience, and read these replies one by one, almost word by word.

Slowly, I don't know why, when Sun Che watched these forum users introduce themselves one after another in the post, his eyes suddenly became a little hot, and an inexplicable feeling accumulated in his chest, and in a trance, he seemed to see an unprecedented vast sky appear in front of him.

And he finally understood the profound meaning of the words "Hello world".

So, with a certain kind of pilgrimage-like piety, he replied word by word: "Friends from all over the world, hello everyone, my name is Sun Che, from Huaguo, Nanjiang Province!" ”

OK, upload.

The webpage refreshed, and the moment Sun Che found that his reply appeared on the page, especially looking at the self-introduction of the New York user above him, in a trance, he felt as if he had completed some kind of sacred mission, and an inexplicable sense of mission appeared in his heart.

"Hello, world."

Extremely naturally, Sun Che said this sentence again.

After a long time, Sun Che's excitement in his heart subsided slightly, and at this moment, he found that the number of replies to the post had reached an astonishing 568!

This means that in just a few minutes, nearly 500 people have come here again to reply!

Moreover, after Sun Che took a general look at it again, he found that the people who replied came from all over the world, and just based on his general impression, users from more than 20 countries had already posted here!

People from 20 countries are building together in the same forum at this time.

Especially when this forum was established by us Chinese people ourselves, this wonderful feeling gave Sun Che a strong sense of national pride.

"Hey, wait, this 'original' means ......"

Just when Sun Che was secretly shocked, he suddenly found that there was a dilute "original" word in the lower right corner of the message upstairs, and after he put his mouse on these two words, he saw that the user's message from New York, USA, was immediately converted into an English version.

As an IT worker, Sun Che is not a problem with general English, so he immediately realized how powerful the translation function of the website is.

Because in the message, the New York user used an English proverb, and the translator translated this proverb into easy-to-understand Chinese.

Next, Sun Che read all the user messages in other countries in the original text, and then copied the original text and tested it using Google's translation software, and then he was shocked to find that the translation program of Zhengdao Technology is even more powerful!

"This ...... Unbelievable, right? ”

A flash of shock flashed in Sun Che's eyes, you must know that Zhengdao Technology is a game company, how can its technical strength in the field of language translation be so high.

Thinking of the joint announcement of the establishment of an independent game chip company by Huawei Company and Daodao Technology Company a few days ago, Sun Che couldn't help but have a deep curiosity about Daodao Technology Company, and in his eyes, Zhengdao Technology Company obviously had a certain mysterious aura.

……

At the same time, there are not a few people who do the same thing as Sun Che, but they are not ordinary player users, but some big companies!

Baidu.

A leader-like person is leading several employees who are proficient in foreign languages to test the translation results of the Unbounded Forum.

"How is it, what is the result of the test, and is the other party's translation program table good?"

Seeing that the employee in charge of Norwegian seemed to have completed the test, the leader couldn't wait to ask.

"Forehead ......"

The employee was urged by the leader, slightly nervous, hesitated and said, "In my opinion...... The other party's translation program is perfect. ”

"Perfect? What do you mean? ”

The leader frowned when he heard this, "Do you mean that the other party does not have any examples of translation errors?" ”

"Well, judging by the comments of these dozen Norwegian users...... Yes. ”

The employees swallowed, and their eyes showed an unconcealable surprise, knowing that their own Baidu translators would never be able to do this!

"Damn!"

When the leader heard this, he slapped the table vigorously, and at this time, another employee in charge of Finnish finished the test, and the leader asked again: "How is the translation of Finnish?" ”

"Perfect!"

The employee was obviously a technical controller, his face flushed with excitement, and he said: "Boss, I strongly suggest that we acquire this translation software, its translation strength is simply perfect!" ”

Hearing the employee's words, the leader's face became even more gloomy.

Then, as the employees in charge of Thai, Arabic and other translation work came up with "perfect" answers one by one, the leader finally couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and hurried to report the matter to the leadership.

……

Net One Company.

Youdao Translation Team.

"How about it, the other party's translation skills are quite passable, right?"

Different from Baidu's test method, the network one here is to print all the original texts of the users on the forum in various languages, and then put them on its own Youdao translation software for translation, and finally use the results of the two to compare.

"Isn't it just passable?"

Youdao's engineer shook his head helplessly, with a hint of frustration in his words: "We have always claimed to be a translation tool from the Internet, which can translate the most novel and fashionable foreign languages on the Internet into Chinese, but the other party is better than us in this regard!" ”

"How is it possible, are you kidding!"

The leader of the Youdao team was shocked when he heard this, knowing that their Youdao translation relies on its own search engine to get the translation results, and the translation results of Zhengdao Technology Company are better than their own, doesn't it mean that the other party also has its own engine?

But this is impossible, the other party has only been established for three months, and it is still a mobile game company, how can it be a game, a chip and a translation software to continuously launch new products......

Suddenly, a thought flashed through the team leader's mind—

"Unless ......"

……

"Unless—Evangelism Technology is the representative of a big super-company!"

Tengxun came to the same conclusion as Net1.

The person in charge of Kingsoft Dictionary said seriously: "Whether it is chip architecture or translation software, this is a technology that takes time to accumulate, even if a company is smart and genius, it cannot complete several research and development tasks at the same time in such a short period of time, because it is too late in time!" ”

Another person in charge also chimed in: "Yes, if these products are taken out by the other party in a few years, then it can be said that it is the other party's own research results, but now it seems that the other party is obviously a representative company launched by another big force." ”

"Let's leave it alone about the chip company, I don't know if you have noticed a little bit about the Xisheng translation software?"

An engineer from Kingsoft Dictionary suddenly said: "Some of these users use their local Internet buzzwords, but Xisheng Translation Software has perfectly translated these buzzwords and given an explanation of the source!" ”

"It's impossible, you know, there are some buzzwords that even foreigners themselves can't say!"

The other shook his head and laughed.

"Just look at this."

The engineer turned the laptop screen around, "This is a message from a Korean user who was surprised by how the Unbounded Forum can communicate with people all over the world without barriers, so he used '???' The word. ”

"What does that mean?" Someone next to him asked.

"It means very powerful."

"Then, you see, the original text on the forum gave that the word came from a streaming variety show, and the forum's translation program obviously knew that the word was ridiculous, so the translated Chinese also had a relaxed semantics." ”

Everyone gathered around curiously, and then saw the translated Chinese: "Wow, hello everyone, I'm Park Hye-joo from Seoul, South Korea, and the translation technology of the Unbounded Forum is really amazing, don't want it!" ”

"This ......"

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

"You mean to say that this translation software also recognizes semantics? That's an exaggeration, isn't it? ”

Still, some people questioned: "Perhaps, this is a coincidence......

"Once it's a coincidence, but...... How many times? ”

The engineer worked on the computer again, then pointed to another comment: "Look here, this person is a user from Paris, and he used the French word 'sérieux' in the message, which probably means 'really'." ”

At this point, the engineer explained, without waiting for anyone else to ask: "The word itself is a strict inquiry in French. However, I don't know when the word is used by young people in France, often with a sense of ridicule, which has distorted the original meaning of the word. ”

After speaking, the engineer pointed to the translated Chinese and said, "Then let's take a look at the translation results!" ”

Everyone looked at the screen again, only to see that the Chinese translation result clearly read: "The translation technology of the Unbounded Forum is simply incredible, my friends and I were stunned!" ”

"This ......"

Everyone was shocked at this moment.

What does it mean to have a software that can accurately translate, even recognize semantics, and translate according to the context of the person who left the message?

The engineer seemed to guess what was going on in everyone's minds, and replied in an ethereal tone, "This software, and this Unbounded Forum, stands for ...... Future! ”
