I tried and it worked, i had to have a go

Shdef · « **Reply #3 on:** August 29, 2006, 19:14:42 pm »

It worked now.... All your answers came up in German as well!!! It was all gobbeldigook... Usually it just means that the forum layout is translated

I couldn't even make out the names of the different forums! There was something called "Stoerschuebe", never heard that word! I think it is supposed to mean glitches cause that is where I was in. But I never heard Stoerschuebe. I think my English is alright though, I can understand almost everything.

Well, it does look good

I just don't understand it. I should stick to English

Shdef · « **Reply #6 on:** August 29, 2006, 19:26:11 pm »

Please plese take that away. it is soooo bad. There is a board called "hair" (Haare) how to make your hair longer? There is also a board where your solid food goes to the army? ("einziehende feste Nahrung")

PLEASE MAKE IT GO AWAY!!!! It is impossible to understand even a wee bit.

And EASY is EINFACH

What kind of routine will E.I.N.F.A.C.H. be???

But please take it away, it embarasses the whole forum and in German it is impossible to understand cause software can't do it...

Oh Steffi youve given me a giggle.. but seriously if it is that bad maybe it might need a rethink....
Maybe we should get Sophie to have a look at the french.. and Sinead to look at the italian for us.. and Laura the spanish...

Umm, Helen? In my playing, I could only get the French and German to work. I kinda dig the translation of my screen name.

Hee Hee...in Spanish, EASY is FACI`L!

Too funny!!! Good luck getting it sorted.

Shdef · « **Reply #12 on:** August 29, 2006, 20:28:37 pm »

Is there a board about making your hair longer???

I mean what else is that supposed to mean:

Haare (Hair)

Wie Sie Ihre Haare verlaengern (How to increase hair length)

Is that the nap forum? How is anyone supposed to use that???

Needs sorted, really, people will just make fun of the forum

kate585 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 29, 2006, 20:55:19 pm »

Could it be one of the ads at the top of the page?

Shdef · « **Reply #14 on:** August 30, 2006, 07:40:35 am »

No, its the Nap board. Nap is translated to hair, who knows why

yaya · « **Reply #15 on:** August 30, 2006, 07:56:38 am »

same thing on the italian page! its because it goes through an automatic translating program which translates LITERALLY and leave some words in English which it doesnt recognise. Same thng happens if u put a text through an automatic translator on the web....

yep, looks cool, but full of mistakes too!!!

my favourite one [haven't checked it all, no time for it...]: PU/PD is translated into sth like: Please pick up [meaning: choose] from what's lying down...

and "getting back on track": things that get to the back of a track [but I'm sure if some Japanese were to read it, they would read it as truck not track...]

lol...

Ennypen · « **Reply #17 on:** August 30, 2006, 08:47:12 am »

Found out why nap has been translated as hair...

scroll down the page..

Shdef · « **Reply #18 on:** August 30, 2006, 09:14:54 am »

LOL Helen, that is quite funny. But I think it is so bad that the whole translation thing is actually useless. How is anybody supposed to understand what is going on?

Katie · « **Reply #19 on:** August 30, 2006, 12:05:27 pm »

ROFLMAO helen... but so true the german one is pretty bad!! will have to get dh to lok at the italian one

Shdef · « **Reply #20 on:** August 30, 2006, 19:38:03 pm »

I'm glad it's gone. It was nae use really

LOL Helen

Ennypen · « **Reply #21 on:** August 30, 2006, 19:45:47 pm »

Do you know Steffi.. I hadn't noticed it had gone lol.. how observant am I !!!

Shdef · « **Reply #22 on:** August 30, 2006, 19:47:09 pm »

I noticed it cause the page loaded in normal speed now. It was slower with the translation thingy on...

Steffi

*Mona* · « **Reply #23 on:** August 30, 2006, 20:37:58 pm »

nope, it's still here: look at the bottom!

Ennypen · « **Reply #24 on:** August 30, 2006, 20:42:58 pm »

Lol so I saw..

Andy has been tidying up a bit.. at least with it at the bottom less people are likely to find it and use it...

I needed to add translation links so I could help a Japanese person find some help for her little one.
It's not perfect but no automatic translation is. Maybe remarking how rubbish it is could accompanied with an alternative solution next time?
Suffice to say the Japanese lady has found it useful or she's too polite to tell me otherwise; either way at least she expressed her thanks.

Ach i didn't want to be rude, the German one is just no help at all. It actually might do the opposite and it is impossible to understand anything. If there is somebody who doesn't understand English very well and wants it translated to German to help her LO I am happy to do that. I think because the German translation is so bad it might actually cause more harm that it is use.

*Mona* · « **Reply #27 on:** August 31, 2006, 14:15:57 pm »

Andy,
I'm sure all you wanted to do is help

for that

I'm not Japanese but I speak Japanese quite fluently [at least that's what my Japanese employers tell me- I'm an interpreter...] and believe me, there are lots and lots of mistakes. it's not anybody's fault, that's just how those softwares work. and sure, one can find help there, but one can get confused too...

yaya · « **Reply #28 on:** August 31, 2006, 19:23:17 pm »

Andy, would it help of I tried to help out with the italian one? Obviously couldnt translate the whole page but dont mind checking it and correcting bits. Dont know how this would work but am happy to have I go if its poss! Ps. Am Italian myself...

andyg2 · « **Reply #29 on:** September 01, 2006, 08:36:02 am »

There are over 300,000 messages in the message boards so software translation is the only way forward. The software, which is constantly changing and developing, is not intended to give a 100% accurate translation but to give people a basic idea of what's being said. If then they need further translation they can either hire a translator, get a friend to help or ask on the boards.
Hope this clarifies the purpose of the translation software.
Andy

Thanks for the offer to help translate yaya I'll keep you in mind just in case! Cool shades on your little man too!
