BM TEAM

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has taken strong exception to inaccurate auto-translations of Kannada content on Meta platforms, calling it a serious issue that could distort facts and mislead users — especially in the context of official communication.

Posting on X, Siddaramaiah wrote, “Faulty auto-translation of Kannada content on @Meta platforms is distorting facts & misleading users. This is especially dangerous when it comes to official communications.”

He urged social media platforms to act responsibly and cautioned citizens to remain wary of mistranslations. “Such negligence by tech giants can harm public understanding & trust,” he said.

Following his remarks, the CM’s Media Advisor K V Prabhakar formally wrote to Meta India, requesting that the feature be suspended until accuracy improves. He also urged Meta to collaborate with language experts to ensure reliable translations.
