“I came up with this idea to improve my English skills, since I’m taking my college entrance exams shortly”
A teen from Japan has gained tens of thousands of followers after he created an account translating Donald Trump’s tweets into Japanese. @DonaldTrumpJPN has been tweeting since November, translating the US President’s tweets into Japanese and providing context too. Aside from tweets, it summarizes words and terms frequently used by President Trump on Twitter. The creator of the account, a 17-year-old high school student who asked to be referred to as “Mr K. T”, told BuzzFeed News he made the account to help improve his english. He now tweets several times a day from the account. The student said he finds it difficult to balance the tone and language of the translations, often changing his choice of language depending on whether Trump is talking about a friend or an enemy.
