Meta has apologised for inaccurate Kannada translations on its platforms and claims to have resolved the issue, following a complaint from Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
The CM had written to the social media giant expressing concerns over faulty auto-translation of Kannada content, which he said was distorting facts and misleading users.
Responding to the letter sent by the CM’s media advisor, a company spokesperson said: “We fixed an issue that briefly caused this inaccurate Kannada translation. We apologize that this happened.”
Siddaramaiah emphasised that social media platforms must act responsibly, especially when handling official communications. He also cautioned citizens to remain aware that translations displayed on these platforms are often inaccurate.
