Can anyone translate this for me? I was looking at the farm the attempted Trump assassination happened at on Google maps, just out of curiosity, and it started asking me questions in Arabic haha. (lemmy.world)

Also, the words are not selectable for a copy/paste translation. Everything else in the image is but even the Google next to the Arabic can’t be highlighted.

The other comment already answered this. I am just curious why it was in Arabic. Were you using VPN?

Nope. No VPN. I left out the strangest part because it sounds schizophrenic, too. Haha. I closed out the Arabic message and took a screenshot. As soon as I took the screenshot my phone went into standby mode, just like when your phone dies. Black screen with spinning wheel but for probably 15-20 seconds. The audio never stopped, though. When my screen came back my phone did a strange sort of jutter that immediately reminded me of what a phone would do when you sent an email maybe 8-10 years ago. It’s hard to explain but do you remember when older phones would almost freeze for a millisecond while it processed and sent the email? Same sort of thing. And the cherry on top was that my phone wouldn’t actually take the screenshot haha. I hate to sound paranoid but I clearly triggered some sort of security red flags. Oh well. Makes me wonder though.
