Has anyone ever tried Google's automatic translation. If you want a very good laugh I advise you to try. A friend of mine has moved from the UK to France and asked me to download some info from the web pages relating to her new town, Sion les Mines, I have not had such a good laugh in ages.
The web page said, in French, that the town was named after a plant that grew along the banks of the River Cher, but the translation came back as 'Sion les Mines current along the expensive one'. a vast percentage of the translation was utter rubbish. I sent Google an email, saying this was not a very good translation, and received a reply saying that their translator probably did not have 'the nuances' that a professional translator might give. |
