Examples of AI Translation

 

Example #1: I decided to translate a very popular saying in English, that means to not judge something just off of how it looks. When translating through google, I think that it did a good job of translating it in a literal sense. The only thing that it fails to do is give its actual meaning in Japanese, but I don't think that should be expected.

Example #2: This is a popular Japanese proverb that means to value substance over appearance. Similar to when google translated an English saying to Japanese, it successfully translated the literal meaning of the phrase. In this case it would be a lot harder to understand the meaning of the proverb just off of the translation since dango wasn't translated to English words.

Example #3: This is another example of google translating in a very literal way. One thing I found interesting is that it opted to use "ミス" and "スター" instead of "外す" and "星".
