Facebook fixes translation on Newsom's post about giving COVID vaccine to 'peasants'
Gavin Newsom recall effort gaining steam
California's Democrat governor facing 1.4M signatures for his ouster; Fox & Trends with Carley Shimkus.
Facebook has changed a Spanish-to-English translation of a post from California Gov. Gavin Newsom's official governor page after its auto-translation tool changed "campesinos," a Spanish word for "farmers," to "peasants."
A comical initial translation of the post from Newsom's office read, "Equity is our priority when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines. We're focused on vaccinating our food workers, farmers, peasants and our essential workers as quickly as possible."
