Will the BBC be doing this for other Asian languages? Particularly Filipino/Tagalog? 1 in 4 Covid-19 deaths amongst NHS staff is Filipino. We overwhelmingly work in low paid frontline work. Media silence allows the death toll to go unaddressed by the Gov.
english only . dont waste tv tax on this .
Why .. waste of my money
Make sure you use people from the LG'Z community.
Why?
It looks to me like U.K. license payers are paying to translate a government programme ? This is a breach of a license payers contract surely ?
10DowningStreet surely this is a role of the government and not something that bbc license payers should have to pay for? Is this a government funded scheme or does someone else have their fingers in the pie?
DefundTheBBC great use of the license fee....
OMG were 10 months into Pandemic and still can’t get the “BASIC RIGHT” BorisJohnson covid
Cue the gammon replies.
Bargain at £22 billion.
You keep telling us this. Bit late tbh.
Why?
I was very impressed with track and trace. They called me every two days during my infection explaining symptoms and what to expect as the days went on.
What's the point of tract & trace when it's been abandoned in your own country? PackItIn GreatReset
Are they going to explain how it doesn’t work?
Great, 5 new ways to say 'It cost billions and doesn't work.'
Local councils did this months ago ...
Why is BBC T.V. News Channel 231 not broadcasting news this afternoon? Just broadcasting a repeat of politics 'This Week In Politics' a programme normally shown on Channel 242! BBC Parliament Channel! WE WANT NEWS! NOT REPEATS ON OUR NEWS CHANNEL!
Great use of money! People really can’t find a way around the basic language barrier !! Waste of money ! The bbc should start to self fund to stop this madness!
DefundTheBBC
Why !
If I decided to live in SE Asia I'm pretty sure I would want to learn the language. Another example of nanny state bureaucracy making people lazy and not be responsible for themselves. Hey have 10 kids and get govt to look after me for life and Marcus will feed them for me. 👍
How bizarre, SA countries have a working test and trace system, that is why their level of infection is so low. Maybe they should explain to us how it works!
If they spent £30,000 to get here maybe it should include a language course. If they can't speak the language I guess jobs are not going to happen; so seems economic migrants at best. May be; Asia would be better place for them; but Doormat UK will give anyone care for free.
Lovely. That’ll get the gammon heads fizzing.
In Southeast Asia they are desperate to speak english and when in England they are desperate to eradicate english!
Tory crony - Paid a few million quid to get this organized Tory crony - (few seconds later) - Cranks up Google Translate
Let squeeze a few more quid out if this scam for our Tory mates
If you can't be bothered to learn English whilst living in the U.K., you deserve to succumb to all the misadventure that inevitably/rightfully entails.
Can you send your Test and Trace explainer video to Boris Johnson in English please? He doesn’t seem to have any idea what it is.
😂they don't want your concoction,only the stupid people who do no actual research do! 1 Peter 5:8 King James Version 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
This is a great example of why it is important to be inclusive. Providing translations of Test and Trace in South Asian languages helps the NHS reach a segment of the population that has been hit hard by Covid-19. InclusionMatters
Lol after nearly 12 months, some still needs explainer videos.
Perhaps they need to do one in English - and play it to Matt Hancock - as he clearly doesn't know how it should work....
Maybe make a vid to explain it to Boris ... as it ain’t working !!!
Any update on when track and trace is going to be explained in English?
Well done!! License money well spent!!!
What’s the fucking point? It doesn’t work and was a waste of fucking money.
Hungry? Get £15 off your first Uber Eats order of £15. Use code: eats-uspt76
thats great!
Given the government won’t fair play
it raises the question, if these are british citizens living in UK - how come they can’t speak English? Is this hidden shame of these communities where lots of these unable to speak English are women kept at home as slaves never integrating -when is this going to be addressed?
Translate it in to Tyke please.
It doesn't work. Period!
Erm isn't it SERCO test & trace?
Also available in Pidgin.
I'm sure local councils did all this back in March .
If the BBC have to explain it on their website then how on earth are the people phoning round doing track and trace managing to speak to these people?
What's complete balls up by our leaders in Punjabi Gujarati Sylheti Tamil & Urdu?
ખૂબ જ ખર્ચાળ છી સિસ્ટમ
Having to translate 'it doesn't work' into all those languages must be a dull chore.
Might be an idea to get it working properly first
This shit never worked!!!
Why?!!!!
When this is over we will change the police and the relationship of government and it's people. The entire system needs to be de-nazified from top to bottom. Liberty
What a shambles headache trouble confusion and huge wastes of time globalism multiculturalism or whatever you call it has caused the world and all due to a handful of capricious, iddle philantropic tech and non tech billionaires whos thumbs we are under
And in English: Bollocks.
It can't trace you so illegal immigration is OK; as so obvious local dialects.
Now we know why NHS, UK Education bill and all public sector so poorly run. Spend all their money on translation services into every foreign language there is. How about to access UK services and become a citizen you learn English? Or is that asking too much?
Why
and Klingon....
Q: Why would anyone continue to waste resources explaining an non-working, ineffective and discredited system rather than to adding value? A: Politics.
International translations ready before the system itself. World beating
UK has a huge bengali (incl indian bengali and bangladeshi) population but ok
Can’t those countries do it for themselves?
😆😆😆
ਇਹ ਭਿਆਨਕ ਹੈ That's one done. How much will they pay me?
It's hard enough to understand it in English.
It doesn't
It’s incomprehensible in English, I’m sure it’ll be the same in any other language
My language: Largest scam ever that raked in billions of pounds.
Sorted. And didn't cost a penny.
What ever happened to that World beating,life changing & saving app. 🤣🤣🤣💴💴💴💴💴💴
Better late than never does not cut it... and it does not work that well either!
Oh FFS!
10 months too late. 🤔
Meanwhile in English.. It's sh!te, cost £22 billion and oh yeah It's sh!te.
It’s fucking corrupt and shit. Translate that.
Have they tried explaining the principle in english to Dido Harding?
A bollox system for a fucked up world. Try making sense out of that one?
Just shout 'benefits this way' they'll all understand that! 👍
“Test and trace explained in Punjabi, Gujarati, Sylheti, Tamil and Urdu” = IT DOESN’T EXIST. They’ve blown billions on it and IT DOES NOT EXIST. I’m confident that most UK residents with those languages already know that despite the helpful translations.
This is great ... but is test and trace actually currently functional in any meaningful way?
And thats for the BBC lot.
Easy one that, It doesn’t work. Explained 👍🏻
Nobody can even isolate the 'virus' so how do you expect to trace it?
World beating ?
What's Punjabi for shit system that isnt needed anymore
