GoogleTranslate error

  WARNING: Wrong interpretation below (should be Thursday)
 Error at the translation of もくようび with GoogleTranslate

To year 2026, the GoogleTranslate shows the wrong translation of word もくようび .

GoogleTranslate suggests (wrong) «Wednesday» instead of (correct) «Thursday».

This can be interpreted as a bug in the software.

The screenshot of the wrong interpretation by the GoogleTranslate is shown in figure at right.

Similar error happens at the GoogleTranslate of word «かようび» : the GoogleTranslate suggests the same (wrong) Wednesday instead of correct Tuesday.

In this sense, the machine translator Deepl does better than the GoogleTranslate.

Although the GoogleTranslate is a widely used tool, it has occasionally shown issues with translating certain Japanese weekday names, such as かようび (Tuesday) and もくようび (Thursday).

Both Editor and ChatGPT hope the errors mentioned to be debugged in future.
