chelle just looked at that translation; just goes to show how unhelpful these sites can be.

MarkRae

I could not agree more! Having a degree in French, and speaking several other languages, I can confirm that these "translation" site have caused a huge amount of problems. The thing is that the minutest mistranslation can totally change the meaning, and it takes a human mind to understand nuances of language.

Are you a genius MarkRae? I like geniuses :-)

MarkRae

I am fortunate to have had an excellent education, but I am in no sense of the word a genius.

You might like Umberto Eco's book Mouse or Rat all about the pitfalls of translation

MarkRae

Untranslatables is another goodie full of words from around the world.

You know the chocs and flowers from a petrol station that a man staggers in with at 3 in the morning to appologise to the wife.

In Germany this is Drachenfutter (Dragon fodder) !

MarkRae

Ah, but that's the point! Everything is ultimately translatable, but the online sites can do little more than attempt a word by word transliteration plus a few stock phrases...
