I was searching for a used car part in my native language and Google mistook it for a name. No, Google, other people do not search for "car part net worth and marital status ". Why are you showing me this crap?

The English word 'speaker' has multiple meanings. In Hungarian, there is a different word for a speaker device that casts sound (hangszóró, "sound caster") and Speaker of the House of Parliament (házelnök, "president of the house").

Still, when googling one, you may get results for the other. 🤷

That moment when you realize Google might be translating searches into English before doing a "sounds like".

Swedish: högtalare, "high talker", pretty much "loudspeaker".
