The sun! The sun was completely out yesterday and it's sort of out today! It's been so long since I've seen the sun's smiling face! I believe we've had 7 days of some sun in February, just 7. Not all of those days were sunny, but they all had some sun. I've been encouraged recently, they tell me spring can't be too far away!Anyway, I added a google translation thingy to mon bloggee. I don't imagine that I have international readers (i.e. mi familia), but just in case they're ever interested, I decided I'd give google translation a shot. Here's what's funny though:
Google translating from any language into English? Pretty decent, rather good at interpreting meaning, converting grammar, etc. etc. I've used it for research before...
Google translating from English into any language? Absolutely dismal! and I can only speak for the romance language translations (Spanish, and okay amounts of Portuguese and Italian), but they are terrible. If you know both languages though, it's really sort of funny! At least I think so, but then I am a nerd and in graduate school, most things in life are funnier than what I spend all day doing.
So perhaps, if you are fluent enough to see the hilarity of the translation, check it out! At first it will bemuse you, then you'll be amused, and then you'll muse over writing a blog about it or translate your own blog.
Hitting the books today,
emm.jay.
