> Some of the tools and dictionaries used for Viet-English are wonky

There's basically no real complete English/Viet dictionary anyways, the best ones are 90% there.

LLMs here are the best experience

I love/hate how Google translate assumes "Anh" means "brother" or "em" means "girl".

This confusion has resulted in Vietnamese people unintentionally describing incest or gay relationships.

[0] - What she actually meant was "brother" in the sense that he is a family friend and neighbor.

  • Yes that's also one of the historical struggles of Google Translate, the pronouns are context based and so are the words, you need experience to know when they start and end.

    It's a miserable experience for translation software.
