Wow, this speaks volumes about their QA process, especially for Android. This bug is known since October '12, how hard can it be for a company with 50k employees to fix a bug like this?

This has got nothing to do with Android other than the fact that google translate and voice synthesis is available on Android.

Yes I know, this is a bug in Google Translate. However, the bug was found by a user using Google Now and was reported in the Android issue tracker. The issue was described very well and is reproducible. I am criticizing that nobody seems to check the reported issues and the time it takes for Google to fix the reported problems.

It's a travesty.

As already mentioned it is not an Android bug.

As long as one uses statistical machine learning, edge cases like this are unavoidable.
