Hey Google, just because I’m asking for Spanish to English doesn’t mean the translation of ‘Espan?ol’ is ‘English’. Come on guys, I mean I’ve used your translation service before, even with lots of editing but this takes the cake.
This was actually me trying to figure out how to talk about my high school diploma correctly. I was a good boy and found a real world example of a news quote from mayor Bloomberg. So I plugged my example in to (Google) translate the phrase “Diploma Avanzado de Regentes Endorsados para Español como Lengua Extranjera”. Google returned the supposed English translation of “Advanced Diploma of Regents endorsed in English as a Foreign Language”. At first glance you might even accept that. Then hopefully you realize, the translation for Español is not English. Let’s look again shall we?
Diploma Avanzado de Regentes Endorsados para Español como Lengua Extranjera
Advanced Diploma of Regents endorsed in English as a Foreign Language
That second line there, and this is mind numbing, the translation of Español is Spanish, not English. So, I just wanted to be one of the first to say; “Hey Google, recuerda que el español no es el inglés.”
