macgirl Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Very dumb indeed, because the lack of an accent. BTW Babelfish does not have this problem though. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5727-deleted/#findComment-36248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteice Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Eh. Kinda pointless. It's more fun translating All Your base into Japanese and back. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5727-deleted/#findComment-36456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metrogirl Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I work a lot with European colleagues and although I can speak/read several languages I usually run their documents through Systran because it's easier to read at speed and I can refer to the original text for the bits that get screwed up. I run my replies through Systran for a sanity check; it's a good program and the basis for BabelFish, I believe. Where Systran really creates howlers is in its attempted translation of people's names. "Dear Mr Cake-Thumper", "Mr Basher" or "Madam Drinking-Jug" for example. Oh, dear.

cyrana Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Sorta OT. But I lived in Japan for a while (college, after college, work, etc). It is amazing the amount of stuff that is just translated into English and makes like no sense. I always wished they would have hired college kids like me at the time to translate it so it sounded ok.
