Google Translate pronounces 'rooster' in Spanish

Could be some kind of joke&#x2F;Easter egg.<p>In spanish &quot;Gallo&quot; is also used to refer to that high pitch that sometimes comes randomly when speaking, more commonly in male teenagers. Which is similar to what&#x27;s happening here.

Try the English pronunciation: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;search?q=cock%20a%20doodle%20doo%20in%20spanish" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;search?q=cock%20a%20doodle%20doo%20in...</a>

Is it just me or does it seem to last a bit longer on every second play?

It sounds right if you open it in google translate: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;translate.google.com&#x2F;?sl=en&amp;tl=es&amp;text=rooster&amp;op=translate" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;translate.google.com&#x2F;?sl=en&amp;tl=es&amp;text=rooster&amp;op=tr...</a><p>(The original link ends up trying to translate the actual English word &quot;rooster&quot; from Spanish to Danish when I open it. Thanks Google.)

That’s hilarious and I don’t often stumble across something that makes me giggle out loud.

Seems to use the same uh, emphatic pronunciation so long as &quot;gallo&quot; is at the end of the translation sentence. Any text with something after &quot;gallo&quot; sounds more normal.

It does the same for &quot;pico de gallo&quot;, with comic effect. (But not &quot;gallo pinto&quot;.)

Weird, making the english side be &quot;Gayo&quot; makes it pronounce correctly. As does adding a ? at the end of Rooster.<p>If you make the english side &#x27;rooster house&#x27; the glitch is still present.<p>It&#x27;s not a double LL problem either. &#x27;Shut up&#x27; works fine.

The mobile app doesn’t do this (and sounds totally normal).

I wonder if it&#x27;s a real person or an AI?

If you type in chicken it will give a different annunciation.
