Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Having worked for a software company that needed translation services, I can confirm that translation software is indeed very necessary.
People would notice when the word "date" is interpreted as "date on a calendar" in one file and "romantic event" in another, but AI sure doesn't.
Even Google's apps have broken Dutch translations by reusing existing strings for different contexts that don't mean the same elsewhere. "Search" gets translated to different words depending on if it's used a noun or a verb, for fucks sake!
