Google translator for Japanese is the single biggest mistake you could ever make. Japanese is an INCREDIBLY nuanced language, and mechanical translators will result in VERY sloppy, almost unreadable, and just generally horrible Japanese.

Kizyr Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Google Translate'd be hilarious though! But seriously, what do you need translated? Lyrics are tricky, especially if you want to get at the original intended meaning and connotations. I could, but you'd be infinitely better off finding a native speaker of Japanese where English is their second language, than the other way around.

Rozovian Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 This is what Swedish out when running it through Google Translate. Sometimes you get more or less competent Swedish, sometimes småfånigt, sometimes a joke, sometimes just bad. Can just imagine how a lyric should be. In itself, it could become a new kind of turkhit, but hardly anything serious at all. Something like this is how it looks when pimples every few years in the Finnish school tries to translate documents from Finnish to Swedish. Finland Swedes are therefore a bit difficult to Finnish politics seriously. Our politicians sound like Turkish hits. Do not see the second paragraph of all errors out. (not to mention how this looks when translated back to swedish) (also, turkhit/turkish hit = mondegreen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
