Hello, a similar attempt was widely reported, eg. here: https://linuxiac.com/ai-controversy-forces-end-of-mozilla-japanese-sumo-community/ As pointed out the availiability of the tools is not necessarily a problem in itself. The problem in that particular case was that Mozilla automatically applied the tools to existing translations, even well-maintained ones. Abandoned or completely missing translations may benefit from AI translation when the topic is general enough that there is likely a lot of training data available. Unfortunately, git with its specific jargon may not be the most optimal project for automated translation. When the generated change needs to be sent to a maintainer for review having gibberish translation would be theoretically avoided. There is the caveat that maintainers might receive more gibberish submissions when the tools are available. Thanks Michal
