Попробую разобраться сама.

I'll try to figure it out myself.

When I hit translate it does start converting the W s. So what's happening is that it is translating from Polish, where W means In.

Я уже немного разобралась. В настройках Яндекса вручную вместо "автоматический перевод" поставила "английский".

Y means 'and' in Spanish
What does O mean in Polish?

Это звук похожий на гласную в слове "ball".

And this works on other forums, so it's not a SciFo problem; it's a Chrome translate problem.

Good to know it's not a sciforums issue.

I usually use MS Edge to access sciforums, so the issue with the translate doesn't come up for me. Edge has its own inbuilt translation option which seems to work pretty well.

(Note: I use Chrome equally as often as I use Edge, so this post is not meant as an endorsement of one browser over the other.)

"About" And it means "the" in some Celtic dialects, I think. So Chrome is just wildly detecting different languages that aren't actually being used.

SkyNet may be launching at any moment.

And proactively translating the text that the user is in the midst of typing.
