Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah has strongly objected to “faulty auto translation of Kannada content on Meta platforms”.👇

This follows after Meta’s automatic translation tool wrongly declared Siddaramaiah dead while translating a condolence message posted by the chief minister’s office on Facebook.

The post, originally written in Kannada to mourn the death of veteran actor B Saroja Devi, was mistranslated into English, drawing flak from Siddaramaiah and an official missive to Meta.

Taking to social media platform X, the chief minister wrote, “Faulty auto-translation of Kannada content on Meta platforms is distorting facts and misleading users. This is especially dangerous when it comes to official communications.”

Siddaramaiah further cautioned, “Social media platforms must act responsibly. I caution citizens to be aware that translations shown are often inaccurate. Such negligence by tech giants can harm public understanding & trust.”
