NWS halts weather alerts in Spanish
https://www.kvoa.com/news/local/nws-hal ... 7f9fb.html
WASHINGTON, D.C. (KVOA) - The National Weather Service (NWS) is no longer offering translated warnings, a decision affecting over 60 million non-English speakers in the United States.
The pause in translation services follows the expiration of the NWS's contract with its translation provider, Lilt. Lilt had been providing translations by replacing manual translations from weather service employees with AI-generated translations.
The contract expiration coincides with President Donald Trump's efforts to reduce federal spending across various government agencies.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Probably as or more accurate than the AI-generated translations that Lilt provides.
I’m more concerned that they’re laying off meteorologists and cutting balloon flights, which affects the quality of forecasts for everyone.
