Message from Arab blind to Google! (youtube.com)

You should check the captions. Google has tried to automatically translate the Arabic parts into English for English people, and it's done a really, really terrible job. It makes your otherwise wonderful video look kind of bad. The person who uploaded the video can supply a better English translation to fix it. Because google seems to be almost as bad about translating Arabic as it is about making Arabic TTS! The captions for the English parts are perfect, though. Thanks for making captions for the English; I know lots of people who speak English as a second language, and have a hard time understanding accents.

First of all, thank you very much for your comment and support! I'm not a blind, I'm a developer and I developed a project for blinds community, but of course I still support them in other cases. However, the Arab blind did this video, they did and still doing their best to send their message to Google and the developers of Google TTS, even if the video didn't reach that quality you expected, but at least we need to support the point of the video, and forget un-important parts!

P.S: Google does support Arabic in other apps like Google translator and Google maps, but they forgot the most important built-in app to be supported for such a big and important market!
