Machine Translation Gone Horribly Wrong

Envoyer Imprimer PDF
There are no translations available.

Hello there,

This is just a quick blog post. I am working on one of my clients' project using Wordfast Anywhere. Wordfast Anywhere is great for improving your time spent on translating hundreds of words, by being able to translate chunk by chunk, with pre-established machine translation to help increase the typing time. A great tool that I am using since its launch.

But look at what the French suggested translation was for the English:

Totally wrong machine translation

As you can see, our machine translation is... perverted. It translated "hottest babes" as "smallest kids". Hopefully I am able to correct the sentence, but this made me think about companies only using machine translations. Awful translations can break a deal so easily.

Here's what it made me think about, have fun:

The asteroid strikes on August 23, 2038, and the few pockets of survivors are forced to begin a new civilization.

The world is populated by human survivors of the impact, who have come together to form settlements around oases and other practical or habitable locations, including racetracks. These fragile homes are diligently defended by the inhabitants against bandits and mutants, which are divided into various gangs and organizations of their own.

You've been preserved inside an underground shelter called an Ark. The Arks are the direct result of the Eden Project, a massive international undertaking in which hundreds of Arks (cryogenic pods) were sealed under the surface of the Earth with twelve people inside each. Each passenger possessed a special ability or trait that, combined with those of the other members, would help them rebuild society. The Eden Project, however, was far less successful than hoped. Your Ark in particular is in sorry shape upon the start of the game - all of the other residents of your Ark are dead, and the equipment of the Ark is destroyed as well, and so you wake up alone and uninformed. With no memory of your identity or objective, you are forced to head for the surface to find sustenance and allies.

The Elder Scrolls told their return.

The Empire of Tamriel is on the edge. The High King of Skyrim has been murdered.


Alliances form as claims to the throne are made. In the midst of this conflict, a far more dangerous, ancient evil is awakened. Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel.


The future of Skyrim, even the Empire itself, hangs in the balance as they wait for the prophesized Dragonborn to come; a hero born with the power of The Voice, and the only one who can stand amongst the dragons.

Master the art of war to become the undisputed ruler of medieval Japan!

In 2000, the Creative Assembly re-invented the strategy genre with Shogun: Total War, an unprecedented blend of 3D real-time battles and turn-based management game and the first offering in the multi-award winning series. With over 7 million units sold and universal acclaim from the press and community, Total War has consistently been at the cutting edge of the genre and is today one of the most successful PC franchises of all time.

Rise of The Samurai is a brand new, independent campaign for Total War: SHOGUN 2.

Set 400 years before the dramatic civil war depicted in SHOGUN 2, the “Rise of The Samurai” campaign is based on the Gempei War, a conflict between six legendary clans of the Taira, Minamoto and Fujiwara families. It culminated in the first Shogunate, and the rise of the Samurai as the ruling class.

  • Play a brand new and independent campaign for SHOGUN 2 set in 12th century Japan.
  • The Rise of The Samurai campaign can be played in single-player mode as well as multiplayer versus or co-op modes.

  • 3 new families divided into 6 playable clans
  • Each clan has its own unique set of traits, giving it a distinctive feel and play-style.
  • 16 new land units spread across swordsmen, spearmen, archers, and cavalry. These include:
    • Foot SamuraiMasters of bow and sword, these Samurai are deadly at range or in melee. They may not be the most numerous units, but they are perhaps the most effective. Also protected by distinctive Gempei-period armour which gives excellent protection at range and in melee.
    • Sword Attendants – Armed with huge two-handed swords, these fearsome warriors can carve a bloody path in melee.
  • 4 new Hero units – the Naginata Warrior Monk Hero, the Tetsubo Warrior Monk Hero, the Mounted Samurai Hero and the Onna Bushi Heroine
    • Onna Bushi HeroineArmed with Naginata and bow, these female Samurai are versatile cavalry units who excel in melee. Do not doubt the courage of a woman…
    • Tetsubo Warrior Monk Heroarmed with iron-studded clubs, these Monks are devastating in melee as they bash their way through their foes.
  • 10 new naval units and 3 new naval special abilities (“Banzai!”, “Whistling Arrows” and “Rally”)
  • 4 new agent types with their own unique skill trees:
  • The Shirabyoshi uses seduction to convince her target to join her family’s cause, and to distract enemy armies. She is also able to entertain the nobles of friendly towns in order to boost their growth and entertain friendly generals in the field, which increases their loyalty to the family and counteracts the efforts of enemy agents attempting to bribe or seduce them into changing sides.
  • The Junsatsushi can request the allegiance of neutral and enemy castle towns, along with any forces garrisoned there. He ensures loyalty and obedience from friendly generals, increases income by preventing corruption, and keeps your castle towns and armies safe from enemy subterfuge when stationed there. He can also pay off rival agents.
  • The Monomi acts as an assassin, spy, saboteur and scout. He can establish spy networks within your castle towns, which increases the chances of discovering any rival agents and armies that may be hiding within a province.
  • The Sou can inspire a friendly army or pacify an angry populace with his enlightened rhetoric. Likewise, he can demoralise an enemy force, reduce the chances of successful bribery, indoctrinate enemy agents and cause them to retire, or incite an enemy population to revolt.
  • New historical scenario – the Battle of Anegawa (1570)
