This partnership has created a problem, though:

My Google is set to German. Apparently Reddit has autotranslated all their content into German.

If I do a Google search for "ssd zfs pool" the 4th result is "SSD-Pool eine schlechte Idee? : r/Proxmox" and this links to `https://www.reddit.com/r/Proxmox/comments/12a5abh/ssd_pool_a...`.

The Reddit page is in German, but as you may have noticed, the URL has `?tl=de` appended, while it contains `ssd_pool_a_bad_idea` in the path. If I remove the `?tl=de`, I get the original version, in English.

This means that what Google crawled, what it has in its index, was already in German. So Reddit translated the original page into German, then made it accessible for Google to index it.

For me this causes the problem that I am now getting a lot of AI-translated Reddit content, even though I'd really like to have the English version to begin with, because I assume that it won't contain translation errors.

I mean, the translation is very good, you probably wouldn't notice that it is one, but still...
