Google asks users to tweak translations
Source: PC Pro
__________ Google is hoping to iron out translation hiccups by throwing the weight of its massive userbase at the problem. While many translation tools, such as Babelfish and Google's translate.google.com, make a decent enough go at translating a passage of text for the reader to extract the overall meaning, it is rare that any read as if written in the target language. Google is hoping to smooth the path to fluent translations by giving its users a tool to suggest a better translation where they happen upon a problem. |

Only some language pairs at the moment.
Looking at transmangulations of German forums, for the German based Aldi/Medion computer models, I wish they'd correct "diagram map" as the constant mistranslation of "graphics card" in German to English. Even a double translation in google screws up graphics card -> Graphikkarte -> Graphics map Not quite sure how the "diagram map" mistranslation occurs?
