I Didn't Know I Knew Vietnamese

Warning. If you're anything like me and have your WiFi turned off, turn it on. This part has pictures.

So I think I broke another website, and this time it's Wattpad.

You know what that means! Story Time!

I went onto the Not From Here Part to see the word count. I wrote that for my Digital Arts class that I don't want to be in (more on that later). 

I have a Google Docs for it with plans on how to draw it out in a comic type thing. Mostly just how it's separated and what will go into each panel. I got bored because we're supposed to be making edits to our "books" from our peer reviews.

I had to review my own because the person I was partnered with wasn't there. Wow, I sure know how to get off track.

I got curious about the word count for whatever reason and didn't feel like removing the Panel Plans™ (Side note: alt ^ to open google slides on a Chromebook. I was trying to tm panel plans. It didn't work, I just Googled it) so I went to the part I published here.

I was prompted to translate the page, so I did. I thought nothing happened at first, so I put it back to normal and one of my paragraphs changed lengths. I kept going back and forth between translated and original until I noticed the "Always translate Vietnamese" above translate.

Yes I named the document Iz Confuxion. I accidentally hit x instead of s. "Iz" is intentional.

It was at this moment I noticed it. "Occurs" changed to "happens" when I translated it. 

"Occurs" is actually Vietnamese.

It happened again when I tried to show this to A. This time, however, it was on this part.

I thought it was hilarious because translating it changed "prompted" to "brief," so I guess that's also Vietnamese

Well, according to the broken Google Translate on the broken Wattpad part.

Congratulations to everyone in the world who knows the word "occurs." You actually know a bit of Vietnamese! (Not really. please don't go up to people who speak Vietnamese chanting "occurs." I don't want to be responsible for people creating a cult of occurs, thank you very much.)

Wow, this just keeps getting better. I just clicked on the translate thing again for fun and it's being consistent. "Occurs" keeps getting changed to "happens" and also changed "prompted" to "varied" this time.

Last thing, I asked A to keep an eye out after I publish this for any signs of translating from Vietnamese as a reader

Last thing, I asked A to keep an eye out after I publish this for any signs of translating from Vietnamese as a reader. I just need to know.

In hindsight, this probably happened because I changed the text of my title. I finally found the weird glitchy-fally type text. It's called Zalgo text. Look up glitchy font generator and you'll find it. It should be on lingojam or something like that.

I updated my title and used Zalgo text instead of normal text.

I'm pretty sure that's the reason Wattpad and Google Translate broke on me.

Now every time I'm on Wattpad on a PC of sorts, I'll be looking out for the Google Translate symbol on the right side of the search bar, wondering if there's more Vietnamese I and a lot of other English speakers have falsely believed were English.
