That's an interesting insight - but that means that they translated it from English to Chinese to English!? Dunno. I tried google translation once into German for Nüle. Just to say I'd have an attempt. she fell about laughing. Lovely mother, who I've met (who doesn't speak English) has also tried translation services from her to me. Incomprehensible. ~~~~~~~ My roommate when I was an undergraduate was a Fulbright Scholar from Germany. I tried to say a sentence to her in German, and she broke out laughing. I had said exactly the opposite of what I intended. MaryL I do have a little bit of German, hello, goodbye, hens and hedgehogs and ants and exits from the motorway, and bees, but I doubt that's very useful. N says not to bother trying as she prefers to exercise her English on me. Relief :-) Tweed |

That makes me think that maybe the sign language translator at Nelson Mandela's memorial service actually works for Google. OMG, wasn't that *so* awful. I could have done better that that myself. I can't do proper full on sign language but am good at the finger stuff and can make myself understood with it. I would have been so ashamed to pretend I was a sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela's funerals service if I couldn't have done better than wave my arms in the air :-( |
