There are several scientific facts which state that doomsday is nearer than what we actually think. Not only facts, but we have been warned with movies like The Day After Tomorrow (2004), 2012 (2009) and These Final Hours (2013), which have left us worried. But then, we decided not to give a sh** about the future.
But now, we have the Google Translate screaming that the end is not far away. Yes, that’s true!
According to Redditors, they have found a glitch in Google Translate, where if you type in ‘dog’ to Google Translate 19 times, you get this rather foreboding prophecy.
Um… I don't want to alarm anyone, but I think Google Translate might have been taken over by demons. pic.twitter.com/TmBYViIIjJ

“Doomsday Clock is three minutes at twelve. We are experiencing characters and a dramatic developments in the world, which indicate that we are increasingly approaching the end times and Jesus’ return.”
Spooky. Very spooky.
Hey, that’s not all. Try writing ‘ag’ repetitively and translate it from Somali to English. You will get an equally disturbing warning again.

Someone also typed the word ‘prophecy’ repeatedly and was shocked to see the results.
Things don’t change when you type ‘dw’.
However, in their bid to find the reason behind the mysterious translations, IFL Science spoke to Chris Boyd, a security analyst at Malwarebytes:
“Translate uses a neural machine translation reliant on absorbing huge slices of text in one language, alongside the relevant translation in another…
Languages which tend to have smaller amounts of translated texts to pair off against are generally the ones most responsible for the weirdest translations.
Google translate is doing what it can and trying to pair off against whatever texts it does have in those less common languages.
This is where the potentially apocalyptic text comes in – religious texts including the Bible exist in all the languages causing the oddities, and this would potentially explain some of the more esoteric messages being fired out.
Only Google would be able to pin down the exact reason, but I don’t think we need to run screaming into the streets just yet.”
No. That doesn’t dilute our fear. Time to get worried.
