As you can see/hear from the pictures and podcasts, almost all fo the mistranslations are undoubtedly the result of poor translation software. I wouldn't worry too much about hurting anyone's feelings.

I can attest to its quality! I've really enjoyed translating it. (the 2nd one has been my favorite so far)

想 and 觉得 are very similar and are often both translated as 'to think'. The slight difference in connotation is that 想 indicates an opinion or an idea about something, whereas 觉得 is more like a feeling.

Hi,

It appears as though though it's a bit of a mistranslation. A more precise translation would be something like, 'I have nothing to do after work so I mess around online.'

受众 (shòuzhòng) and 观众 (guànzhòng) are quite similar. 观众, however, refers specifically to viewing audiences, whereas 受众 includes all kinds of audiences. The expansion sentence is about 媒体的 audiences, which includes print, online, audio, etc, as well as television/video.

Not sure, actually. I've only ever heard 复制粘贴 here the PRC. (which btw can be either fùzhì zhāntiē, or fùzhì niántiē)

复制粘贴 (fùzhì zhāntiē), and yep, that's the CPU usage of "copy and paste" as well as the literal meaning.

No, not for Beijing Standard Time shows. The format of BST is flexible and isn't always an interview/language analysis, so we don't include a specific tab for vocab.
