Boffins bash Google Translate for sexism

gender-neutral languages

There aren't any. The languages referred might not have gendered pronouns but that is not the same has not having a concept of gender. You could make an argument that the results are yet more evidence of cultural imperialism but I suspect the effects, when compared with sites like YouTube are negligble. But more importantly, the study seems to be ignoring why people are looking for translations.
