Google Translate Fail

Unfortunately this is my last ds106 assignment...

Boo Hoo :( 

and Hooray :) ! at the same time! haha

So for the last assignment, I wanted to have an actual fun with,

and I wanted something that was close to me.

I found a fun assignment under the category of "Web"

called the Google Translate Fail.

I personally use this tool A LOT, very very often since

I am very interested in different languages and use Google Translate

just for fun in my free time. 

I already knew that Google Translate is almost accurate translation but not quite.

I cud tell the wrong grammar or word since I am a bilingual speaker,

it was funny at times because the sentence just did not make sense.

So here is the first example that I've tried.

I typed up "I want to take a bath." in Japanese

(That was what I actually wanted to do at the moment) 

and the translator totally fails.

"Us to take a bath."

Somehow the translator assumed I wanted to take a bath 

with someone else and totally failed in translation...

As you can see, Google Translate is almost accurate but not quite.

I say it might be better to translate a word, rather than a whole sentence.

This is something just extra, I wanted to have fun with it more.

I realized Google Translate can be successful in one language

but can fail when translated into another language.

Since I speak a little Spanish and this is what my boyfriend

tells me all the time :) I translated it.

"te amo"

Yes, it means "I love you" in English and translation succeeded.

Out of curiosity I tried to translate it to Japanese and clicked on the Japanese button.

Somehow it failed.

Its close, but this sentence in Japanese is an incomplete sentence.

Almost like saying "I love y...."

Google Translate is interesting because I guessed that

it might work better if the two languages are a bit more similar to each other.

I will definitely use this tool for personal use since

I still think its very useful...

I had fun this assignment :) <3

Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.

Consumer Mashup

This time the Mashup assignment was to think of a place where I spend
a lot of money,and also what I spend them on. Then to make a logo out of it.

I first thought about the supermarket that I go to very often to get food, then thought again about it and did not want to customize a logo of a supermarket. I thought I rather make something that relates more to myself and not just a supermarket because I need food :0)

My hobbies are cooking, sewing, making jewelries...and of course as a girl shopping is my forever hobby! I go to this store called the "Forever 21" an American brand which came to Japan very recently. I go to the store once a month and shop for clothes, accessories and lingeries. This store is known to be very cheap and it actually really is, which I can by about almost 10 items for $100 (10,000 yen).
