Restoration of the Canadian General Electric A-87

In languages, everything said or written is understood in the context of the topic.
So if one little mistake makes one rise up and yell at you, this person is simply intentionally being nasty in 99% of the cases.

Many Russian/Ukrainian speaking folks cannot differentiate between short/long "i" sound, and the words "s**t" and "sheet" are pronounced the same by them, as well as heard.
But it would take a complete malevolent idiot to think that the housemaid, who said "I will put a s**t on your bed", actually meant crapping on it.

We had a joke back in the USSR about "cut sheet feeders" of the foreign-made printers.


Same about the sounds in "blood", "are", "gun", "tongue": they all sound the same to most Russians and will be pronounced the same way.
Hence "can't" and "cu**t" will sound the same.

Same goes about us Americans speaking Spanish and such.

What I liked about being in the US when I came, there were VERY few people who would refuse to understand me. They sould work with me, sometimes correcting my speech. Which helped a lot.

Context is everything. As well as friendliness.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

John, Michael, - thank you for your tips. I will try to take them into account when creating new videos. I understood one simple truth - in order for Google or Artificial Intelligence to correctly translate and voice texts, these texts must be simple and short. This is a bit of a problem for me, because I often use long texts with artistic turns, allegories and comparisons. I suspect that it is with such texts that Artificial Intelligence has problems and they are incorrectly voiced. Ok, I will take this into account. Thank you both again

Google in the recent couple of years got significantly better in translating Russian. I do not know about Ukrainian.
Not without hiccups, but quite passable.

Of course, you are right and the language should be concise, or as Gruppenführe Müller said in that Soviet series, "We, detectives, should think in nouns and verbs only: "he met, she said, he gave"".

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
