[quote=GRIZ326,226440]My lady friend sent me an email in Chinese characters. I translated it using Babelfish and it said, "My Dear Alexander, I love you." I was terribly disappointed and told her. (my name is Steve) She sent me the line in English and it was nothing like the Babelfish translation. I was embarassed and apologized.So today, I wrote an email using Babelfish to generate the Chinese characters. ...and it struck me to translate it back into English... OYE! It didn't even make sense. So, I wrote and translated, re-wrote and re-translated until the Babelfish Chinese translation from English and the Babelfish of the Chinese back into English were similar. I had no idea of how hard this woman was working to read my and mails and respond. I spent almost 3 hours on a 10 line email. ...and I've been sending her rambling emails of many pages. I am humbled by her dedication. Thank heavens we have two talking dictionaries for my visit.[/quote]
