You know that "see translation" thing on Facebook?

[zoidberg]

Why is it so terrible? I love clicking it because the translations are so insane. Especially from Korean.

[zoidberg]

What is the point, except to entertain others?

Someone commented on a status today "om nom nom" in response to a picture of a cupcake. I clicked on the see translation button. 'om name.' Good job facebook.

What are you doing? It seems I'm squealing but would die hard, because as soon as winter why IKE ㅠ ㅜ coming but wait.

What is this supposed to mean?

[CheshireGrin]

Sure, blame the translator. Maybe people are just writing insane things in Korean. Ever think of that?!

[zoidberg]

They could be. My friend is pretty level-headed, but I can't vouch for any if her friends.

my friend is a translator (as her job). so she posts things on facebook in no fewer than 4 languages. so, sometimes i'll do the translator thing just for the heck of it. and it's always nonsensical, profane, or both. and my friend is terribly eloquent and i've never heard her curse in any language i know. so it's extra funny. i'm sure she's writing things like "here's my sweet son, that little devil!" but it comes out like "motherfucking sky clouds eat devil papers."

They are really bad.
