    1. I thought I was having a stroke trying to read the hebrew as well. They made all languages left to right.

    2. rendering errors in the bengali smh not to mention being unable, somehow, in 2023, to do rtl text in arabic??

      finnish and hindi are cut off

      ohhh not to mention the katakana is highly questionable in some cases.

    3. Fm the little I know of kanji,the bottom right says “obstacle” and “bitter love” (literal). Er…. Bitter love????

      At my first Paralympic Games in 1992 my teammate came back to the Village and told a story about a blind Mexican athlete farting in his face after having his finger pulled. Inspired by this, I can now say “Jale mi dedo!” in over 50 languages and dialects.

    5. Almost correct for the Latvian one “Es tevi milu”. It should be “Es tevi mīlu” with the long “i”. Still nice to see.

      I recognize Bulgarian, Turkish, Ukrainian, German, Spanish and Italian because theyre almost the same

    7. ok ‘I love you’ is same for singular and plural

      but how about most other languages?? how do they know it’s supposed to be used 1on1 only??

    8. The other fonts look alright, but the Spanish Te Amo looks like a horror movie title.

      And my Mandarin is horrible, but that bit is also a weird font choice to me because it looks like shitty handwriting. It’s kinda nice to know that other alphabets also have that shitty font that teachers tell you not to use for any schoolwork.

      It’s kinda awkward that the machine loves me, seeing as I was planning to use the condoms with someone else…

    10. German takes the cake for this one, just because if you stop translating half way through it looks like “i love dich”

      What’s “ech hunn dech gäer”? It sounds like somebody tried to write in a Swiss German dialect but failed

    12. Would you rather someone whisper in you ear “Te amo” in a soft Spanish accent or yell “ICH LIEBE DICH! in a hard German?

    13. Bengali is IDK what to say!. The right one is- “আমি তোমাকে ভালোবাসি”

    14. Curious about the size. The one on the right is size L.
      Is that like ordering clothes from Asia and you have to order a size up because they’re small?

      The bengali one is SO BAD…all the vowel-like symbols are misplaced…think “pncttn-uuaio” instead of “punctuation”

      That Bengali just makes my eyes water

      (For context, it should look like
      আমি তোমাকে ভালোবাসি
      but the text rendering appears to have failed)

      And it doesn’t help that the Japanese pronunciation guide has ボーロバシ instead of what I think is more accurate バロバシ

    17. Thank u. That’s why language is so fascinating. Can be open to so many misinterpretations. 🙂

      How do you say “I don’t know your name, and I don’t care” in 37 languages? Because that’s what the machine should really have written on it.

    19. Does the fending machine say 愛している or 大好きだよ tho? I can’t see if there’s any Japanese on it
