TL;DR: Mozilla is killing localization on Support Mozilla, overwriting articles written by humans with machine generated translations. Although Mozilla knows that their AI doesn’t localize or adhere to style guides, Mozilla is going live with it anyway. I thank locale leaders and localizers for their tireless efforts. Locale leaders seem to be obviated by AI, and Mozilla has nothing to say about it.

I must say something: 99 % of my usage of an AI chatbot is for translating a document so I can publish it in multilang.

LLMs are REALLY GOOD at that specific job. It saves soooo much time.

Sometimes, there are mistakes (not far from human error tho), so I am assuming Mozilla will still allow for human review and correction... Right?

from what i've heard they are implementing the AI translation stuff really badly
