TimmyR Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 anyone attempting to translate using babel fish will only spout rubbish. I tried it in an essay once and showed it to a german. They laughed. Better off just writing it yourself with a dictionary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSumption Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 If you want real rubbish, try the Bablizer, it is absolutely hilarious (sorry, this should probably go in "time wasters"). For example, I just entered tim_rutter's post, above, into the Babelizer and, excluding Chinese, Japanese & Korean, it came out with the following: All such that to try, sprinkling the fish of the confusion, decree translate only applications of an excess. I controlled in a test in the past and I showed to him German. They had laughed. To improve the interior added to the right of the interior of the writing if with a predetermined rotation!

Joule Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I think most (all?) online translators are rubbish. http://www.dict.cc is good for single words though, and it works either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow0114 Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 When I do translation work, I trust http://dict.leo.org - again, for single words. It's great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfg199 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Did anything come of the Stammtisch idea? I would be interested in keeping my German up. Also: how do you get German channels on satellite TV? I've looked on Sky's website and they don't seem to offer any European channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow0114 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Hi rfg199, no, I don't think it did, and unfortunately, I'm moving out of Hillsborough (what appeared to be the hub of German activity) tomorrow...I'll still be in Sheffield, though, so if this does get up and running after all, I'll be around.

TimmyR Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Sorry guys, I have less than no time at the moment! Was thinking of organising something but never got round to it. maybe when the dark nights set in and we're less tempted to go out and play in the park...

fhain29 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Witzig: den Post sehe ich heute zum ersten Mal. Wenn ich noch in Sheffield wäre, würde ich gerne zum Stammtisch kommen... There were some other posters here who live in Germany. Where are you then? I'm in Düsseldorf and have been here 12 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
