Learning Greek and google translate is almost completely useless for anything written by a regular person.
Newpapers etc are ok but Twitter? I have to get my BF to translate most of the time.
Why is it SO BAD?

it’s been trained only on formal legal documents. Translation tools are
already scraping the bottom of the parallel corpus barrel: In many

syllables into prophecies of doom.”](https://www.wired.com/story/google-translate-wikipedia-siri-widely-spoken-languages-cant-translate/)
Upvote for the funny translation. I think we need a whole new subreddit just with botched translation of the Cypriot dialect.
What is funny is how clueless the people who write (and re-produce) those nonsense are.
The party which supports Mavroyiannis, AKEL, has 15 seats in the parliament. The parties that support Christodoulides (DIKO + EDEK + DIPA) have 9 + 4 + 4 = 17 seats.
