When the Machine Translation wants to sell Girls (180KB)

Blog entry Gallery
Searching for information about CD-R containing gold… Are they better or snake-oil? Are they still available and how expensive are they?
Well, the answer to the first question: I don't know if they are more long-lived than regular CD-R.
The answer to the availability is "Yes!" and the answer to the price question is "Ridiculously high!"

But seriously, amazon.de, that offer (apparently translated with the help of a machine instead of a real translator) is totally not okay. Gaga translation. Right in advance, they get my favorite

Without more words, here the screenshot. I provided literal English translation for it below.

While the adjective "jungfräulich" can be used in figurative sense of untouched, unchanged (which has associations with blank media) just like in English , "Jungfrau" means exactly: a virgin (girl/woman) – and nothing more.
What is the machine translation trying to sell me? I order this and get… virgin girls, but have to print them? In a 3D printer? Or should I associate it with human trafficking?

The second part doesn't make any sense at all.

Mhhm. In this case? Yes. It's just ridiculous (and the offer is even sold out so no relevance whatsoever).

In general… I disagree partially. Sometimes descriptions aren't understandable – like in impossible to find out what the text is about. Just a random sequence of words.

In my opinion, the customer must at least have a chance to fully understand what is for sale. It's not that those results only appear on page 78. Sometimes horribly translated stuff shows up under the top results for normal products… like a smartphone protector (pouch, pocket or just a foil). This can make finding a fitting product very hard (I've had that problem).

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

    It's all good no one pays attention to the law anyway lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous

    If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.

    That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves

    because self deprecating humor is important, as long as it doesn't turn into self hate. because you can't really make fun of anyone if you can't even make fun of yourself
