The_DarthMoogle Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Google Translate is getting far too good at French, seeing as so many kids like me are using it for their exams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merchant of Menace Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Yeah, trying to figure out a non native speakers' terrible grammar is much easier than trying to figure out google's terribad translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoho Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 seeing as so many kids like me are using it for their exams.And getting what kind of results? If it's >60-70% then something is terribly wrong with the grading system or expected level of language skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakj Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 I have no idea what country he's in, but the grading system in the US doesn't actually fail you until you reach <60%. (90% is A, 80% B, 70% C, 60% D, below that, F.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adlersch Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 If you already have some knowledge of the language and then use a translator, you can see some mistakes it makes, tweak it a bit, make sure sentence structure is correct, and tada! Fake results. Lots of people in my German class would do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who prizes himself on knowing the things he's talking about, i'd rather get a bad grade from the things i DO know, than get a good grade from, for example, a translator.
