Ironically, I think the GP meant exactly what google translate translated, and that your interpretation is wrong. He says that it takes him a long time to translate French and he won't even start if the original text is Chinese or Japanese. :)
Edit: check replies below
- paganel 8y agoI'd guess we'll have to wait for him to explain :) Anyway, translations and what gets lost in translation can be fun pretty fun.
- Udik 8y agoSee my reply to your sibling comment :/
- Foobar8568 8y agoI am native French, I need concentration to understand the intent on any xyz to French Google translations. A good proof is to translate back and forth a text. I often use German to English or Japanese to English (amazon), I can guess the overall meaning but 60% is my own interpretation.
- Udik 8y agoCompletely my fault, I was skimming too fast and I mixed up pen2l's comment with your reply, then proceeded to explain to paganel what the mix meant :) I'd like to say it proves we're not general intelligences most of the time, but let's not generalize: it only proves that I am not a general intelligence most of the times. :)
