June 6, Russia and the whole world celebrate the birthday of A.S. Pushkin. The name of the poet is one of the first associations with the Russian language, Russian speech. And this is true. According to linguists, Pushkin's vocabulary was about 22,000 words. For comparison: most often in Russian a little more than 9,000 words are used, and a highly educated adult knows about 8,000 words. The vocabulary of Ellochka-cannibals from “12 chairs” was 30 words. It’s not that the automatic translation of Chinese online shopping websites knew few words - he just fancifully combined them. To whom laughter, and to whom and a serious business problem. Which we seem to have decided. Now June 6th is also the birthday of Russian-speaking Gearbest.
Clear definition

Descriptions of Chinese goods on the websites of online stores provided topics for jokes and demotivators of trolls and creatives of all stripes. Through the efforts of online translators, many interesting things were created from the category “fish man's head”. Some buyers turned to English versions, owning other languages ​​were guided almost to the touch. Despite a bit of humor, the problem remained and was rather sad. First of all, because Russia is the largest market for Gearbest. Visitors to the store had a lot of questions about the site interface, a lot was not clear for Russian-speaking customers, and we decided to fix it and tried to make the buying process as easy as possible. In general, there is nothing accidental in the fact that it was Russian that became the first
official translation of the site .
Important circumstance
