- kbenson 12y agoInteresting, it's able to infer that Mao is a name about half the time. (I still consider it a mistranslation, as it's a name. I wouldn't expect John Smith to translate to another language with "Smith" being replaced bu the equivalent in the other language either).
- chc 12y agoBut in English we capitalize names and put articles before common nouns, whereas in Chinese both are just "mao." It is a mistranslation, but a more understandable one than translating "John Smith" as "John a metal-worker".
