this is not HnH related really, but I just posted something on my FB in my native language and my american friends wanted to know what it was so they used google and this is what they got:
Mothers breast-feeding you should have any problem that you had a place baby pacifiers? Maly Alex I will not sleep unless it nekojim when we try to sleep uhoupat scream so I tried to give him water and a scream, too, unfortunately I can not let it rip because he has a closet with males. What to do?

the original was this: "unfortunately I cannot let him cry it out because he shares room with Samca" (Samca is his sister, czech version for Samantha, thats where the males came from. Samci=Males)

Google tries to be cutting-edge but falls short and expects its users to pick up the pieces.

I believe if a translation is wrong you can correct it or suggest a better translation and send it to Google since they don't know what they're doing.

When I use GT, I usually try to make sure I have the right word by first translating the whole sentence, then by picking each word individually and making sure I have the right word and the right meaning. It's time consuming, but well worth it.
