Chapter 1012 Google's Unpredictable Disaster
riddit ranks among the top five in the world in traffic. There are countless netizens who spend on this forum every day, and they are quite active.
If you opened this website for the first time, everyone would probably not believe in their own eyes, because the pages are simple, the graphics are boring, and there are also large paragraphs of text. These are not the most popular exquisite web pages of CCTV at all, but more like the old antique website in early 2000.
From a certain perspective, its form is actually similar to that of a forum. It is often posted in one post, followed by various comments.
The website positioning is very unique. It is the source of fresh and hot events on the web. You can find the most interesting section no matter what you want to see.
There are more than one million sections here, and the size varies greatly. Some sections have only 3 users, while others have 30 million users, including news, politics, sports, music, interesting pictures, etc.!
Obviously, it has the same effect as Tieba and Douban group, and it is a favorite website for foreigners.
Everyone can post links, and the link that gets the most likes will rise to the top of the page.
The "Reading" section is not small in scale. There are many people in the world who love reading books. They recommend and communicate with each other here, discuss the works they read and interesting things that happened.
Today, the top link of the reading section is the post posted by Ivan Wilson, which received more than 200,000 likes!
[You will never believe this, I missed the author of "The Lord of the Rings" perfectly!]
In recent months, "The Lord of the Rings" has been the hottest book in the reading section. Readers from different countries have been discussing this, and even gathered together to analyze the various races in it, trying to popularize the elves, etc.
Random Bookstore uses water army marketing here a lot. It can be said that the global sales of "The Lord of the Rings" cannot be separated from the help of reddit. Readers from several continents can gather together to chat, thus radiating.
Just from the title, you can see how upset the person who posted this post was that he actually missed his favorite work.
[In New Zealand, I am the owner of a library bar. There are several bookshelves in the bar filled with books for people who are drinking to read. When I arrived at the bar this afternoon, the waitress told me that someone knew the origin of the Green Dragon Tavern last night.
At that time, I just thought I had met a reader who also liked "The Lord of the Rings", and there were many such readers.
An unexpected thing happened. When I took "The Lord of the Rings" off the bookshelf, I found a sticky note inside.

When I saw the content of this sticky note, I thought I was deliberately joking with me, so I asked the waiter to confirm my appearance, and then I found out that it was really the author of "The Lord of the Rings". He came to New Zealand for vacation!
When I checked the passport information he left in the hotel through some unlawful means, I confirmed this, but he had already checked out this morning.
God, why did I be lazy last night? I clearly have my own bar, but why did I still go to other people’s bars with my friends?
But this sticky note has been preserved by me as a souvenir!]
Foreign media generally do not pay attention to small things about domestic media, such as they have not reported on Zhang Chu's vacation before.
Now that this post is posted, it quickly surprised netizens in the reading section and is also a little regretful.
"What a pity, who would have thought you would pass by me!"
"A library bar in New Zealand? I believe I've been there."
"He really knows how to use elf text flexibly. This kind of text can really be used normally, but unfortunately I don't understand."
"I don't know how to comfort you, but you have at least a sticky note and we have nothing!"
"I have too many words in my heart and want to communicate with this author."
“It’s so cute!”
"I don't know why this happens, I feel sorry for you!"
Of course, there are still other netizens who are not clear about the content of this book, nor who is the author of the book.
But as long as you can understand English, there is no communication barrier, and the rest can be discovered slowly.
The Internet is connected, and the photo of the sticky note actually spread on the Internet.
Many media are staring at reddit. Now such a hot topic has appeared, and it is a small interesting thing that happens between well-known writers and readers. News editors quickly released this experience into news and let more people see it.
I guess Zhang Chu himself didn’t expect that the casual writing could become a hot topic on the Internet, and many netizens shared it.
When there are no international events and no news of Hollywood explosions, this kind of news is quite marketable!
Many people searched for the name Zhang Chu and the title of the Lord of the Rings for this news, wanting to know what was going on, what kind of works are so attractive, and why there are texts that are completely incomprehensible in the picture.
Google Translation is a tool that many people use in their lives. It is a free service that can provide instant translation between more than 80 languages.
When they are translated into translations, they will look for various patterns in millions of documents. This is all machine translation, not the most perfect type, but it is enough to make people understand it.
But this time, he fell into a stumble on the sticky note written by Zhang Chu!
It can be used to take photos with a camera and can be recognized even by hand-written text.
The English part in the first part is very simple, and they are all very common words, but the string of words at the end that look like deformed English letters stumped the Google system. Even its artificial intelligence does not know what the text is, let alone translate the meaning.
Those netizens who were full of confidence in Google Translate were shocked. They all thought that this thing was omnipotent, but they didn't expect that there would be times when they could not be recognized!
There are millions of people who have watched "The Lord of the Rings", but compared to netizens around the world, the proportion is very small.
Most people don't know the Elf Word.
"What's going on?"
"Are these words casually written and drawn?"
“Google is so disappointing!”
"Can anyone tell me what text is this and what does each character mean?"
Even Zhang Chu’s most die-hard fans may not be able to master the elf language. There are too few people who can truly learn a brand new language by themselves, and it is extremely rare.
Without dictionary as a reference, translation is almost impossible.
Previously, when "The Lord of the Rings" was first released, a simple website was released as a dictionary, but the content was not complete, and most of the content looked very similar. If you were not careful, you would make mistakes!
As an Internet giant, Google has always been paying attention to the trends on the Internet. When millions of netizens are complaining about Google Translation, their engineers acted quickly and looked for solutions.
Chapter completed!
