FAQs about Tweet translation
Who is translating the Tweets?
We’ve partnered with Microsoft Translator to provide machine translations of Tweets. For a list of supported languages, see this Microsoft Translator article.
Some of the translations seem to be of low quality. Why?
Although Microsoft Translator relies on advanced translation software to provide Tweet translations, the results still vary and often fall below the accuracy and fluency of translations provided by a professional translator. For this reason, the original text is always displayed above its translation. For more information on translation quality, see this Microsoft Translator FAQ.
