Apple released the iOS14 on September 17, 2020 (Japan time) as an OS update for iOS terminals such as iPhone.
Along with the red -designed "widgets", a new "translation" app is now being installed, but it has become a hot topic as a strange Japanese translation if you enter "Huawei" in this translation function.
"Is it a bug or intentional?"
Speaking of "HUAWEI", it is the English notation of the largest communication device in China, Huawei.In recent years, the Trump administration has called for the "exclusion" of Huawei products, and has begun to regulate semiconductor export to Huawei on the 15th.
If you translate such "HUAWEI" into Japanese with the translation function of iOS14, it will be a hot topic on the Internet after the release is displayed as "late".J-CAST News updated the iOS device and tried it on the 18th.There are two types of translation app "English", "USA" and "British".
When I entered it in "America" in English and translated it, I was able to confirm the translation result of "late" for "Huawei", "huawei" or "huawei".
Similar phenomena were also translated from Italian, Spanish, German, and French.However, in the case of the "UK" version, "Huawei" is translated as "messed up", and in the case of "Huawei" or "Huawei", "Huawei" is translated.In addition, when translated into a language other than English to Japanese, it is translated into a notation that is displayed as it is, such as "Huawei" or "Huawei", respectively.
This strange phenomenon has been reacting on Twitter, such as "Is it a bug or intentional", "I'm sorry for Huawei", and "horrible ...".
J-CAST News applied for this phenomenon to the Apple Japan Public Relations Department on the morning of the 18th, but not at 18:00.
