My Portuguese auto-translation addon turned “manacutters” into “penis cutters”

I use an unofficial addon that automatically translates FFXIV dialogue into Portuguese, since the game still doesn’t offer it officially. Today it created absolute comedy gold. In the quest “Ready to Fly”, Alphinaud says: “Pray excuse my lateness. I paid a brief visit to the workshop to inquire about the manacutters. The engineers assure me that they are ready.” But the auto-translation completely lost the plot. In Portuguese, it translated manacutters as “cortadores de pênis” (literally: penis cutters). So the translated dialogue became something like: “I made a brief visit to the workshop to inquire about the penis cutters. The engineers assured me that they are ready.” Now Alphinaud is calmly informing us that the penis-cutting department is fully operational, and no one questions it. And I will never look at Alphinaud the same way again. submitted by /u/Cybercountry [link] [comments]
