Google Translate

translate.google.com

I'm sure we've all used this at some point (ok, not all) and it's so fun writing stuff in english and making it come out in some sort of foreign alphabet. For example (and you can translate these back (they have all the same message)):

Russian!
????????? ???? ??????, ??? ????, ??????? ??????? ?? ?????? ?????????? ?????? ?????? ??????????????, ?? ??? ?? ???. ? ????? ????, ????????? ??? ???????, ??????? ????? ? ????? ?????????? ?????, ?? ??? ?? ????? ???? ?? ????????, ??? ??? ?? ????? ???????? ??????????????. ????????, ????????? ????? ???? optomistic ? ?????????????, ??? ???, ????????, ????? ? ?????, ?? ???? ??? ??-???????? ????????? ????????? ???????????, ???? ?? ???, ?? ?????? ????, ??? ?? ????????????? ????????? ?????????. ?????? ?? ??? ???? ???? ??? ???, ? ????? ?????, ???????: "? ????????? ????????, ???!" ???? ??? ?? ???, ??? ?, ??? ??????, ?????? ??? ? ?????? ???? ???, ????? ??????? ??????? ?????????. ????????.

Kannada!
????? ???? ????????????? ?????? ????? ??????? ????? ??? ???????????????? ?????? ?????????????, ???? ??? ????????. ??????????, ???? ?????????? ??????????? ????????? ????????????? ????????? ???????, ???? ? ?????????? ???? ??????????? ????? ??????? ???? ????????. ?????????, ???? ?????????? ???? ???????????? ?????? ????????? ???? ???????????? ????? optomistic ?????????, ???? ????? ?????????? ???, ???????? ???????, ???? ????? ????????, ???? ?????????? ???? ?????????? ????????????????. ? ???? ??????????? ???, ????? ?????????????, ?????????? ????? "???? Deetz, ??????????? ????????????!" ??? ?????? ???? ??? ??????????? ????? ? ?????? ????, ???, ?????????. ?????.

Hebrew!

Finally... Arabic!

The problem is that google translate doesn't take into account sentence structure.

Also Google Translate doesn't do well with idioms.

Re: Google Translate

Yeah, translate is pretty good with translating between the more common languages grammatically such as english, spanish and french. However, when it comes to less widely spoken languages, it struggles with grammar.
