 I got down to the bottom of it. I typed in the text wrong. With the ‘ apostrophe, it think it’s English. With the ’ apostrophe, which is what Noshole used, it thinks it’s Norwegian Bokmål with 52% confidence while English is only 41%, which we know is wrong. OK, blame Apple. Maybe we can try to hack it to be smarter such that if your device locale trails the top prediction by X%, we don’t attempt to translate the note.

 Damnit, Apple. Auto-corrected the first apostrophe when I didn’t want it to. It’s ' versus ’ 
 Punctuation matters! 
 I helped my uncle jack off the horse. 
 Let’s eat grandma.

 But he slipped on a soap opera. 
 Happened again. I think what I’ll do is convert from one apostrophe ’ to another ' before running the language recognizer as a bandaid fix to Apple’s incorrect language model. https://image.nostr.build/8845e6c3906c76103b7760a04fe561062efbcc2ee5e665d967671c54e383ad03.jpg  
 Nobody knows I’m Turkish. 😆

 OK, I sent the patch to @jb55 to review and the fix seems to work on my local iPhone simulator. There should be fewer wasted sats / translation quota.

 Tim Apple owes me some sats.
