In some languages, does Google Translate translate the words in a formal way?

Question

Hey guys, I was just asking because I wasn't sure. I've been using Google Translate for the language that I'm trying to learn but what I wasn't quite sure is was that do Google Translate translate the words in a formal way? Like some of the languages have like informal or formal way to make a conversation with someone that's younger and older like Korean. I wasn't quite sure so if you know could you please answer me? Please for the people who are not interested to answer me or who does not have a fact to tell me about this or just answering me for no reason or being a hater just please leave this question alone. Thank you.

Answer 1

Unfortunately Google Translate has many problems. It is fairly effective in translating singe as well as just a few words.

When it comes to sentences and paragraphs their translations leave much to be desired.

In terms of language they don't have enough flexibility, so they limit themselves to formal language and are unable to deal with idiomatic expressions.

I would suggest after doing a translation from google you check it using Babylon. As far as informal conversation, another program called Urban Dict is an excellent source.

I have used all of the myself and recommend you do so as well.



Hope this helps

Google translation tool is not a reliable source for learning another language. It only translate literal text, but not the contextual meaning. I am studying Spanish, and not ALL English words can be translated to another language, and vice versa. Translators are useful if you already know a good amount of the target language, and you can put two and two together and figure out what the context means!

Answer 3

yes it does buddy, not in some languages but in every languages it happens.

I study englush and sometimes I use this site to translate some expressions and it doesn't work out very well, I use it just to translate single words cos for expressions unfortunately it doesn't work out.

I realize that many people which study another language make a huge mistake using these web sites to translate either expressions or set phrases in their studies.

I myself used to do that at the beginning of my studies in english, and sometimes I didn't even understand anything what google translate said, LOL... dat used to drive me crazy so much.
