Google Translate Finally Gets 'Undocumented' Right
Until Tuesday evening a free service provided by Google was
incorrectly translating the Spanish term for “undocumented” to “illegal immigrant.” The
internet giant’s free translation service, called Google Translate,
took neutral headlines with the word “indocumentado” from
Spanish-language news sites and compromised the accuracy and fairness of
the stories by not translating to the correct term in English.
It’s unclear whether Google Translate is now translating all instances
of “indocumentado” to undocumented but 10 stories that Fusion was
following had the correct--updated--translation on Tuesday.
I initially raised the issue to Google representatives in an
open letter
published on Monday. The company issued a statement explaining
translations are automatic and based on algorithms that index
“translated text that already exists on the web.” Google took no
responsibility and said they had no plans for human intervention to
update the translation.
When contacted Tuesday evening, Google would not confirm if the updated
accurate translations are a result of an engineer updating the
algorithms. A Google representative issued the statement sent to Fusion
earlier this week: “We're always working to improve our algorithms, and
we appreciate feedback from our users.”
“For them to not to understand or be receptive to the fact that
undocumented is not the same as illegal, regardless of how they’re
system is generating that answer, is irresponsible,” Hugo Balta,
president of the
National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) told Fusion Tuesday morning.
In 2006 the NAHJ began urging media companies to use either undocumented
immigrant or undocumented worker, instead of "illegal immigrants,"
"illegal aliens" and "illegals" when describing people who are in the
U.S. without proper documentation.
“To call a human being illegal is not only unfair but it’s inaccurate,
no human being is illegal,” said Balta. “
Only their actions can be
illegal and we have been advocating and fighting for media companies to
take the time to accurately portray their actions and not demean them by
using the word illegal as an adjective.”
The term is also racially biased according to Rinku Sen, publisher of
Colorlines.com, who in 2010 launched the Drop the i-Word campaign.
“The associations that people make with the term are highly racialized.
So when the term is used, in most minds, the image of a Latino man come
up even though there are lot of other kinds of people who are without
status in the country including many European immigrants,” she said. The
associations are “applied in a racially discriminatory way”, Sen went
on to say.
A 2012 study from National Hispanic Media Coalition and Latino Decisions found over 30% of 900 non-Hispanic
respondents believed the majority of Latinos were undocumented.
