Second Coming.
Bad Translator. It has been 2 months since we first released our funny online tool called: “Bad Translator”. Today, right after the long Memorial Day weekend, we’ve decided to bring a bit more attention to it by mentioning it here at our blog again. Also, we’ve built a brand new Facebook fan page where we are going to collect all funny mistranslations our Bad Translator accumulates over the course of its lifetime.
Here are the links again:
Bad Translator! Tool: http://www.conveythis.com/translation.php
Facebook Fan Page: http://www.facebook.com/BadTranslator
The interesting thing we have found out is that our Facebook Fan Page was long time due. In fact, we were totally oblivious how fun and popular our tool was among masses, that impatient users began to make their own Fan pages devoted to this very translator. Some fan pages amassed as many as 105 fans already! We couldn’t tolerate that blasphemy, so, today we are putting an end to it. Join our group and help us growing to the next level! Bad Translator – this is really bad!

Our friends across the pond have consistently demonstrated just how dangerous a sport soccer can be, especially for those not actually on the field – in 1989, the British government passed the Football Spectator Act in an attempt to curb the often violent behavior of fans. As soccer fans from around the world make their way to South Africa for the 2010 World Cup next month, one South African pharmacy is making sure it’s ready.
To better understand sick and injured soccer fans, the South African pharmacy chain Clicks will use computers with Yahoo’s BabelFish online translator. Customers will type, in complete sentences, their symptoms or soccer-fan related injuries in their native language, and the online translator will return an English translation for the pharmacists. The pharmacists will then determine appropriate medication, and use the translator to explain dosing and other instructions to the customer.
The World Cup will be the first major test of this new system. It will be interesting to see how an online translator works for simple, if very, very important, sentences. What do you think? Share your thoughts on Click’s use of BabelFish as an attempt to increase understanding between pharmacist and customer.
