Today, everything’s coming up Apple. First, viewers of its big iPhone 6 reveal were greeted with an awesome test pattern.
And then came the free language lesson:
Anyone else watching the Apple live stream hearing a Chinese translator over main audio??

if nothin' else I'll learn Chinese during #applelive #livestream

Nothing easier than listening to Chinese and English at the exact same time. #applelive

Who was the Genius who thought it was a good idea for the Chinese interpreter to talk over the stream? #AppleLive

The Apple Live Stream is (glitching) and including Chinese live translation for their oppressed workers. http://t.co/bVw8I6tIIF

WTF is this Chinese takeover of the Apple live-stream! Feels like I'm watching a chinese film with bad dubs!

The translator’s voice eventually did disappear:

As did the live feed — frequently:
Hm, chinese lady is gone. Oh, hold on… the #AppleLive stream went bogus again. What a show… My belly starts hurting because of laughing
— Jochen Kirstätter (JoKi) #WFH (@JKirstaetter) September 9, 2014
Oh well.
Determining if I prefer Chinese or mute audio… Wait. It froze… Wait. Access denied… Wait. Someone's getting fired tomorrow. #AppleLive

First, they got rid of the Chinese-language audio. Now, they got rid of Tim Cook's audio too!
Apple minimalism at its finest! #AppleLive

Bring back the Chinese woman! At least I had video then #AppleLive
