Funny Google Groups Malay Translations

I’ve some trouble with my php code, so I decided to search around php mailing list for some xml-rpc implementations specific solutions. Since google groups has tons of mailing list archives, I decided to start there first. After few minutes of reading for possible solutions and ideas, I decided to try out the Google Groups syndication feed, because I was curious about it.

My curiousity paid out because I finally saw Google began using ATOM 1.0 syndication format, but shortly after that, my eyes scan down the page and I read something that makes me laugh out loud! Apparently Google has taken the translation thingy too seriously by over-translating proper nouns.

Can you guess what Google mean by “makananSetan”, “RuangBawah”, “beritaGator” and “JaringanBeritaWayar” in the screenshot below? (p/s: they are all in Malay language)

I really don’t want my feed ends up to be makananSetan…

Translate Mypapit blog in 9 different languages

Thanks to Jibone post and tips, I manage to install Simple Thoughts? WordPress translator plugin, which enables language translation in my blog to 9 different languages. The translation itself is done by Google Language tools and the translation can be expected to be a bit way off.

You just need to click at any of the flag icon to translate this website to your desired language, for example, clicking the French flag will translate this blog into french, and so on. Happy perusing!
