Today, I needed to get a translation on some Japanese words. So, I decided to use Google Translate. It usually does decent work - I switched to Google Translate when it translated a sentence as "Cheers for hard work," which made much more sense than the way my previous translation service was interpreting the same sentence..."It seems to be the tired way."
By the way, I actually wrote what you see in the picture! I'm kind of excited. Doesn't it look cool? I wrote out the dialogue in my textbook in hiragana for practice.
Anyway, Google Translate let me down today. By a lot. Now, I'm sure some of what happened was due to user error, but here is a synopsis of what I got today.
I accidentally typed "soshitetakusan," and got "N and the geek." This caused a minor giggle to pop out.
I typed "wa-ruda" in hirigana, and got "I Rerelease etc."
So, I typed "wa-ruda" in katakana and got "waruda" as the English translaton. Gee, thanks.
Then, I typed "kappu" in hiragana and got "pu hue" back. Now that was confusing!
Ah, Japanese, one day I will conquer you! Or, perhaps we can at least be friends!
