Translators are great tools. But they are far from perfect. They can make some very serious mistakes. I shall take this document translate it to Spanish and then translate it back to English for an example. But I will add this just to make the example a little more telling. Happy Independence Day. It's raining here up North. I hope you are having rain lakeside too. I wonder what this will look like if I translate it first into Spanish and then back to English. Shown below is the product of that exercise.
HERE IS WHAT I GOT. I was using AltaVista's tranlation tools. The translators are great tools. But they are far from perfect. They can incur some very serious mistakes. I will take east document I translate the Spanish and later I translate it again to the English by an example. But I will add hardly this to make the example little say. Happy day Of Independence. It is raining here upon the north. I hope to him I am having lakeside of rain also. I ask myself what this as if I translate first Spanish a and then to English will watch again. The product of that exercise is demonstrated down.
So yes the translators are good but they are far from perfect. Pete
