[google cloud translate] as a result of translation, the second sentence disappeared about python-translate

[busunkim96]

Interesting. This looks like something coming from the backend. I tried the v2 REST API directly, the v3 client, and translate.google.com

REST API:

https://translation.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2/?q=%EC%95%BC%20%EB%84%88%20%EC%99%9C%20%EC%9E%90%EA%BE%B8%20%EB%AC%B8%EC%A0%9C%20%EC%83%9D%EA%B2%A8.%EC%9E%90%EA%BE%B8%20%EC%9D%B4%EB%9F%AC%EB%A9%B4%20%EB%AA%BB%EC%8D%A8&source=ko&target=en&key=YOUR_API_KEY

v3 client

from google.cloud import translate

client = translate.TranslationServiceClient()

parent = client.location_path('PROJECT_ID', "global")

text_no_space = '야 너 왜 자꾸 문제 생겨.자꾸 이러면 못써'
text_with_space = '야 너 왜 자꾸 문제 생겨. 자꾸 이러면 못써'


for text in [text_no_space, text_with_space]:
    response = client.translate_text(
        parent=parent,
        contents=[text],
        mime_type="text/plain",
        source_language_code="ko",
        target_language_code="en",
    )
    # Display the translation for each input text provided
    for translation in response.translations:
        print(u"Translated text: {}".format(translation.translated_text))

From poking around with different inputs this doesn't seem to always happen.
'너 왜 자꾸 문제 생겨.이러면 못써 -> Why do you keep having problems?
너 왜 자꾸 문제 생겨.너 이러면 못써 -> Why do you keep having trouble, you can't use this

If feasible, you could insert spaces around the punctuation as a work-around.

@czahedi Where is the correct place to provide feedback on translation quality?

Howdy! Just checked with the translation team and they have a public feedback / issue tracking forum here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=componentid:187144

@InspiringPeople I encourage you to file an issue above and get your feedback directly to the product team, and refer to Bu Sun's workaround in the meantime. Thanks!
