Terraformer Dreams - Chapter Two (complete)

[The Zig]

Ah... RL is internet shorthand for "Real Life" - it's that annoying time between when you can get on-line.

As long as there are sites like dict.cc or leo.de I can handle it.

For Japanese, I used to use BabelFish. But frankly, for Eastern languages, it's awful.

When you're really bored, it can be interesting translating something to Japanese and then back to your language with BabelFish, just to see how badly it messes it up.

E.g.
I wrote:

Automatic translation is poor at best, and funny at worst.

Babel Wrote:

As for automatic operation conversion the poorness, at the very most there being a strange 10,001 thing.

Ahh!

Well, if you think BabaFish is funny then try Google Translator...
I think most of these "helpful" programs are really bad.
