Ryoko Sakka Chaya Jiro ( ????????? ) is a famous mystery series occasionally aired on TV Tokyo.

I copied ????????? and pasted it in Google Translate. The English translation was “Chaya travel writer Jiro“

I found this amusing because although all the words in the translation are correct, I was actually expecting to see “Travel Writer Chaya Jiro”.

Wait a minute! I thought that Google Translate does word-for-word translation! Now, I think this translation is really funny because Ryoko ( ?? ) means “travel”, Sakka ( ?? ) means “writer” and Chaya Jiro ( ???? ) is Chaya Jiro, the writer’s name.

So, the reason I find this translation very funny is that Google Translate did a very random translation instead of a word-for-word one that I was actually expecting it to do!

Translate Fail
ds106

I saw quite a few people doing this assignment
so I decided to do one too.

I type in:

?????????
?anata ga shachou desu)

You are the president.

I took this phrase from a Japanese book I bought the other day.
It looks simple.

But:

Is your president.

It’s not even a complete sentence.

I wonder how this worked out.
I think it’s like
??????your
????is
???? president

and it somehow turned out like that.

I found another interesting fail.
Which is this:

???????suk quickly
?yakusoku, promise)

This came through when I was thinking of another sentence.

Type it in kanji, and it works fine.

Maybe the problem was with the hiragana I worked with.
So I try some words in hiragana.

They work fine.

But

doesn’t change.

I understand that GoogleTranslate works with patterns of grammar,
but I couldn’t understand how this worked.

GoogleTranslate is surely interesting.

(?=?=´)?
