Funnily enough, Putin crab is an old meme in Russia. Once upon a time he said that he worked "like a slave" (meaning very hard) in the past which is "kak rab" in Russian and can be perceived as "kak krab" meaning "like a crab" which inspired many photoshops and "funny" pictures where Putin is a crab
I was aware of the meme but never knew the origins, thank you.

Anything mocking Putin is a little funny.
I just know that this were certainly Russians who wrote those articles. You can see the proof in the comments to this video
putin crab and lenin mushroom are the most important memes in russian meme culture, they're still at least a bit relevant even after like ten or so years

Plot twist: The translator worked flawlesly and this is just how Wikipedia is in Laos
Guess Laos just loves buddah
As a Lao person, no translators can properly translate. I translated a ton of words into Lao and I was laughing when it called stuff like a rat into a trash can😂.
@@serbiancountryballs is it an issue with the translators being lackluster, or is it the language that's just particularly hard to translate? (genuine question)
@@spookysomeone I think it's the language, it probably has the same problem with Chinese where new words that are coming into the language from abroad are replicated with the letters that sound similar, however the letters on their own already mean something and mean completely different thing when you separate them from a word.
@@spookysomeone maybe it’s the Lao language. Because every word is literal. giraffe IS long necked deer when you listen it out.

i remember a time where i was searching through wikipedia’s other sites in languages, and i found one that was quite not what i was expecting, in that wikipedia it was autotranslated and “wikipedia, the free encyclopedia” was turned into “How to get rid of Acne on your PC”

I’ve been searching through the Igbo one and the statistics page title is translated as “There are Many Graves.” Users seems to get translated as “prisoners” a lot. North America is translated as “America’s Sunshine” and Africa is translated as “Heaven”

If I remember correctly, the reason why Putin was translated to 'Mr Crab', is because in Russian the word 'putin' also refers to a crab hunting season. When they are typically caught to be eaten as seafood.
"putina" means fishing season and not crab, I doubt we have a place to hunt crabs. The actual reason is simpler-Putin said once in an interview that he had to work like a slave when he was young; like a slave sounds pretty much the same as like a crab, so we had a bunch of memes and caricatures
@@axl7762 No but as in, why his surname was automatically translated to 'crab'.
But aren't these articles translated from Laos? I think another comment on here said that the word for crab in Laos is "pu" or something
@@mellow_mallow I initially assumed that this was one of those 'translated through X amount of languages' memes.
@@DogDogGodFog oh, understandable. It's incoherent enough to be one.
5:17 okay okay credit where credit is due this sounds pretty dope
5:02 as a Norwegian, I can confirm
…that this is wrong

L I V E R P O O L I N H E L L
You can actually figure out a bit about Laotin from this. Like I assume the word for "crab" is similar enough to in spelling "Putin" that Google translate gets confused. You can also see the language English is always just called "the UK" which makes me think that the two are the same word in Laotin with interchangeable meanings.
Can confirm: crab is ປູ (pu), which absolutely confuses the translator, and ອັງກິດ (angkid) is used for both the language (ພາສາອັງກິດ, pasa angkid) and the country (ປະເທດອັງກິດ, pathed angkid)
Also, the same crab thing is why Emperor Puyi was translated as Emperor Crab
@@throughcracker6591 no wonder Sun Yat-sen rebelled against Qing. It was ruled by a literal crab
In Russian the crab poaching season is called something similar to 'putin', I think
There's an actual joke about Putin being a crab, because some people misheard his "rabotal kak rab na galierach" (I worked like a slave on galleys) as "rabotal kak krab na galierach" (i worked like a crab on galleys)
7:45 as someone who live in Thailand. Yeah this sounds about right lmao

I have not laughed this hard in weeks! This was amazing. How this channel doesn't have more views and subscribers is beyond me.
7:14 that’s probably related to the diacritics getting messed up and misinterpreted as numbers (VNI maybe)

Mr. Crab:
"SPANGEBOBBBBBBBB! why the fuck did you let Zelensky steal the Krabby Patty Secret Formuler?"
"Give the conscripts... supplies??? ARHARHARHARHARHAR Spangebob 'me boi, that costs MONEY!"
2:30 Well, for Putin "Crab" is a real nickname after his famous phrase "Vse 8 let ya pahal kaK RAB na galerah (or "Entire 8 years, I was working as a slave on a galley" or "Все 8 лет я пахал, каК РАБ на галерах"). It was spoken the way it was easy to perceive as "kak krab" (as a krab on a galley), hence the nickname.
So, It is a pretty good translation, tbh
2:36 Yesterday at the time of this comment, SEP 15 2023, is the day of this comment, which on SEP 14 at 9:00, I was just watching the first season of SpongeBob, and it was kinda funny. And the Mr Krabs joke was hilarious, so deja vu, I guess?

I like to imagine the reason this is so incoherent and nonsensical is because there's very few Laotian moderators to correct and check things so people who speak Laotian can just plagiarize to their hearts content. That and paired with the fact that Laotian doesn't receive the same attention a language like Spanish or Arabic would get from Google.
Lao is relatively hard to translate because tons of words are really literal. We use what they are to say what they are. Hitler is autism (you know why) cat is roughly meow so as tons of other animals
If people were just plagiarizing others, then they would just plagiarize the most easily available and popular texts. So the errors would just be the most common errors, not completely zany errors.
