JudyKay Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Google translate gets the words right and the meaning across, but isn't often very accurate for translating the way people actually speak or write. For example it misses nuances of meaning and denotation, formal versus colloquial, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Judykind of like that $75 Franklin translator i bought in prep for the French student coming ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xahu34 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Dutch translation:..."Hoe leerde u het programma kennen?" ...No surprise, a suitable German translation is similar to the Dutch one:Wie haben Sie dieses Programm kennen gelernt?Regards,Xaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
