Message: [QUOTE="Gingervitis, post: 6907, member: 1920"] Now I see what you mean. Now that we're not talking past each other, I still think this is flawed. I dunk on localization because they're filled with the most egotistical "people" outside of soft science academia, but the truth is that some amount of localization will still be necessary to convey wordplay-based jokes, for example. Take the following joke, for example. The joke makes perfect sense in English, because eight and ate are homophones. This joke doesn't work in Spanish, because ocho and comió (ate) aren't homophones. If this was in a translation, it would need to be replaced by a completely new joke to keep the same tone as it does in English. This is something AI is physically incapable of doing. [/QUOTE]
