They decided that an AI translator could replace the Spanish-speaking staff to translate articles.

It didn't work too well.

The translator program repeatedly failed partway through the articles, reverting to English. Also, the translators wrote tech articles of interest to the Spanish community, which the AI could not do.

A terrible loss all around.

Not only is this a foolish decision to trust whatever a machine outputs, this shows significant contempt for the users who speak and read those languages, determining they're no more important to anyone than whatever garbage a machine translator will spit out for them.

I can hope they'll have all the success in the world. They more, but I can hope all the same.
