Is Google Translate sexist?

Several users have taken to Twitter to complain about Google's sexist translations in its Translate tool. When translating phrases from gender-neutral languages including Turkish and Finnish, users noticed that Google gave male pronouns to certain professions, such as police, engineer and leader. In contrast, female pronouns were given to jobs including secretary, nanny and nurse. The reason for this bias remains unclear, and Google is yet to respond to requests for comment. Google Translate's automated service can translate over 100 languages.
