Interesting bug in Reddit's automatic translation

I use Reddit's automatic translation not because I need it, but because it's the automatic setting in the app. And I often find myself switching to the original language to read posts and comments because the automatic translation is sometimes inaccurate/of very poor quality.

I double checked the original language here because I was surprised by the number of what seemed to be troll responses below a video about a Russian missile attack. They were all saying the same thing, "Vive la Russie." I was more than a little surprised to find that all the comments actually said, "Fuck Russia."

Looking for interpreting recordings!

1 Upvotes

Hello, I am a linguistics and translation undergrad and I am thinking of writing my thesis about Interpretation. For that, I need material to analyse. Does anyone know, where I can get recordings of interpreters doing their work??? I am Interested in both consecutive and simultaneous translations.

My language pair is EN-RU, accordingly, translation records for this language pair are in higher priority. But mainly I'm just interested if it's even possible to find enough material online for a thesis, are there any websites with such recordings??

Pls help 🙏
