Do you need to translate my website to another language?

 For people for whom English is their 2nd or 3rd language or for people who are learning another language you could use the Google Translate App built into this page it is below where it says: Search this blog.

Underneath that it says: Translate page. If you click on where it says select language and select a language the whole page becomes in that language automatically. To revert to English you have to then find English and click on it.

However, just remember the translations (at least a few years ago this was true) often were about at most 70% accurate in their translations. However, Since then Google Translate might have gotten better through time so the translations (at least in the top ten languages used on earth might have gotten better.

English is more of a business language which was developed by traders who came to England on ships to trade their wares. So, it contains English, French, Scandinavian languages, German and other European languages. So, in business English is likely the best language on earth to conduct business in. So, depending upon what you want to do, different languages excel in doing different things.

My two languages are English and French and a little Spanish. I understand snippets of other languages but English and French I'm the best speaking. However, people speak so fast in French and Spanish that most of the time I cannot fully understand them but I'm told I have a Parisian French accent in French because in High school I took an audio course in Parisian French at that time in the 1960s. We had earphones and we mimicked the Parisian French speakers on the tapes for several hours a week in the language labs.

The most problematic thing I find with French is the word il or IL which means either He or it.

So, often when French is translated instead of HE it will say IT which can be very confusing in context to sort out or it will make IT, He instead and this also is problematic when trying to understand something translated from French to English because IT and HE are very different.

Google Translate

I was thinking how people could use Google Translate worldwide better.

Robot translators are only about 60% to 70% effective for a variety of reasons. For example, when I translate from French things on Saint Germain it translates HE often to IT. This can be very disconcerting hearing people like Saint Germain or Jesus or even God called "It" or IL in French.

When things are translated between languages I was thinking if people used them first through robot translators and then went in (people who are fluent in both languages) and correct things such as He or She becoming IT or IL or the reverse. So, when I translated these things from French it would say things like "It then traveled from Paris to Germany or things like this which I found uncomfortable. Then direct translations often make no sense at all when translated into English even if you have all the right nouns and pronouns. If the verbs or tenses or participles aren't right it takes away useful meanings. So, you might get the nouns but then that sounds like

Dog, Pond,  tree, surf.

So, what do you do with that if the rest doesn't make any sense in your language?

What did the dog do at the pond, (to the tree? and (In? the Surf). Use your imagination and you might or might not be laughing about now. ha ha.

So, maybe a way to use Google Translate or other robot translators might be to translate nouns and then people fluent likely could then fill in the blanks so to speak so people actually know what the dog did to or with the "pond" and the "tree" and the "surf"?
