UTANPOTLÁSUNK A JÖVÖ HARCAIHOZ error SZABAD HAZÁBAN BOLDOG IFJUSÁG corrected to YOUTH ACCESS THE FUTURE Struggle FREE HAPPY YOUTH HAZAN Please explain 'hazan' in this context and the meaning of the 'translation' in real English. Obviously, we got the same results and we had then the same questions :-) Somewhat senseless slogans do not mechanically translate very well. For instance, Google translates the grammatical but silly slogan Hot rocker Pedro rocks to the supposed Hungarian Hot rocker Pedro sziklák Real helpful to a Hungarian who does not know English ;-) A good example, many thanks. The translation of the same into French gives: Hot bascule roches Pedro. Pierre and Blaire, among others, will surely appreciate. For those who are aware of the basic ideas that stand behind Google Translate, it can be useful (for example by eliminating some typing) but, as the French maliciously say, * consommer avec modération (consume in moderation - translated by Google). -- Victor Manta, PWO, AIJP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
