Is this a kind of poetry?

I just google translated "A small fly is on the restaurant table" to simplified chinese.

Got: 一个小苍蝇在餐厅桌子

And got it back to english as "Flies in the dining room table, a small"


Automated translation still has a long way to go.

i read somewhere that google are planning to offer a real time voice translation service. so someone in brasil for example can call someone in china, they both speak their own languages and the service will translate so that the whole conversation will be for each person in either chinese or portguese.

give the quality of google translate, i expect hilarity, confusion and maybe world war 3 to ensue.

Just curious - why did you do that ?
