I hated that happening as a kid, rarely do games get translated into Arabic, and never into Tamazight so I would get softlocked into a random place because I didn't know English, for example I tried playing GTA Vice City before I learned english and I couldn't finish the game because I kept getting stuck at the mission "cop land" because you had to steal a police vehicle and trap two cops into a garage marked on the mini map, something that you would only know if you spoke the language the game is in, unlike every mission before which had color markers and you could get through using trial and error.
One benefit of AI does seem to be the rise of fans using machine translation for things that never ever would've gotten it in the past. I've even seen some things that do the translation in realtime.
💀 they suck ass at translating, translation just like art and writing requires a proper human being with skills and culture knowledge to do, maybe it'll make the job easier then a proper human being can do the bits it did wrong, but it can't do it all

Depends on languages in my experience. You're right though some suck ass, with that said it's still better than not having them at all.
Can't wait for the future where everything is AI translated slop that makes no sense
The Sims, believe it or not, was actually trying to predict the future of human language under AI translation
Wait, your native tongue is Tamazight?
