Google Translate once translated 万 (ten thousand in Chinese) to “million” for me. I was shocked it could make such a basic mistake. It wasn’t even that long ago, maybe 2018? Machine translation has a loooong way to go.
IIRC at that point it would translate e.g. "23 万" correctly, but 23万 would go to 23 million.
I tried reporting the error, no idea if they actually pay attention to those!

Since large numbers on e.g. streaming sites are often reported in multiples of 万 in Chinese, but a million in English, I did wonder if the machine "learned" that they were equivalent.
