Babelfish SUCKS (MAME related)
« on: June 25, 2003, 05:08:55 pm »
I was looking at a Spanish emulation news site called Emulatronia, and I tried translating the MAME section with Babelfish. The results are incredible. I haven't laughed so hard all day.

Whoosh! That's the sound of the point flying over your humorless head. That page was translated by a MACHINE, not a Spanyard.

"For that you lose yourselves in the meantime SUCKS we will say to you that it can agree to you more...

...That yes, if you want comfort you will have yourself to lower an front-end"

wise words IMO ;D

Cersplat! My point is that it's impossible for a machine to compinsate for how people abuse a langauge. Go ahead and run "I wuv my m4d r0mz" through it and see how well it turns out. Thanks though, I enjoy flamewars.

Any ways, this is offtopic and rubbish.

I agree, the translation is not very accuarate.  I can only say this for spanish because that's all I speak (other than english of course), but I imagine the other languages are the same.  I currently have it on my site, but may remove it because I'm not sure it helps much.

Well, I thought it was pretty funny when it says stuff like "MAC SUCKS," "SUCK for Linux," and "SUCK for the small one
of the Microsoft house." You seem more interested in pointing out that machines aren't perfect. But, as you say, each to his own.
