It was like that in 2020 as well -- I remember being really confused trying to see how many views a Daoko video on billibilli had.
IIRC at that point it would translate e.g. "23 万" correctly, but 23万 would go to 23 million.
I tried reporting the error, no idea if they actually pay attention to those!
> Machine translation has a loooong way to go.
Since large numbers on e.g. streaming sites are often reported in multiples of 万 in Chinese, but a million in English, I did wonder if the machine "learned" that they were equivalent.
