- leggomylibro 9y agoSometimes you get a consistently mistranslated word, too, like "order" -> "baby" on an options page. "Shop past babies" "Track baby shipment" "Create new baby" "Return/Exchange defective baby" I think it's funny and fun. And I like to think that people on the other end of my google translate monstrosities feel the same way.
- mikeash 9y agoMy favorite example of a weird mistranslation was an old Google Translate bug, long since fixed, when doing Spanish -> English. If you typed in “amistad,” it would spit out “friendship.” So far so good. It even translated punctuation. “Amistad!” came out as “Friendship!” Adding exclamation points to the input added them to the output. Amistad!! -> friendship!! Amistad!!!!!! -> friendship!!!!!! But if you used exactly five exclamation points, no more and no less, it would instead translate to “murder!”
