私をかむには、マザーファッカーズを管轄欠損

Tomita said Google searches of his client's name suggested words involving criminal acts, and included 10,000 items that defamed or disparaged him. The man, whose name was not made public, believes that's what led to his firing and derailed his efforts to find new opportunities.

I'm guessing the man's name is either "Rape Theft" or "Bernie Madoff."

When using Google Translate, re-arrange the input sentences to eliminate mid-sentence punctuation. The output makes more sense that way.

管轄権を欠いている低能は私をかむことができ

Also, 99% of English prose will make zero sense when translated, and turns of phrase are almost always lost in translation.

Came for the Google translate, leaving satisfied.

However, for the phonetic:

Just wanted to say that the only two words of Japanese I know are oishi and baka, and I've gotten quite good mileage out of them.

Why would Mr. Santorum sue Google in Japan?

Tomita said Google searches of his client's name suggested words involving criminal acts, and included 10,000 items that defamed or disparaged him

So either Glen Beck or Rick Santorum sued Google in a Japanese court?

Apparently, there's a guy with my same name who had a courtmartial and was dishonorably discharged from the army. But if you actually look into it and see that I've never lived anywhere near the guy, it's obvious that we're different people. I somewhat doubt that someone would fire a person without taking 30 seconds to verify who they're actually reading about. But then again in america, an employer could be sued for that kind of thing.
 
2012-03-27 11:20:43 AM
Yeah, just like they tell China, right? It's easy to stand up for your principles when you know the other party has little intention of knocking you down.

In their defense in this particular case though... the lawsuit is pants-on-head retarded. It looks to me like that they're saying that if you Google search his name the autocomplete adds other words after his in the suggestions that come up...... which an employer who fired you over would have to be even more idiotic than this lawsuit, and it seems like they'd be a much better target of a suit than Google.

I thought the same thing when I first started reading the article and thought that there had to be more to it. The I remembered that this is Japan and they are real knee jerky about this type of stuff and anything that could potentially embarrass the company.

I haven't done this, but I'm sure you could take most English, put it into google translate for any other language, and then take that result and translate it back to English, and you will have a changed meaning. You would need to keep it very short, dry, and simple (twss) in order to get the same meaning back that you started with. Just a hunch.

From English to Japanese, and back to English, this becomes:

Although I have not done this, I put Google translation in other languages, I'll take the most English, confident that we can get the result, translate it back to English, you has the meaning of the change is. You will need to keep simple (TWSS) and was dried very short in order to regain the same meanings as you start. Just a hunch.

Here, I did that with your paragraph from Azerbaijani to English and then English to Azerbaijani:

I realize, but I put it in any other language translation with Google, is the most English and then translated back to English and can get the results I am sure, have a different meaning. You have the same meaning to get back (twss) is too short, dry, and should be kept simple. A hunch.

New students at the language school I went to are all cocky when they get there, wondering why reading and translation tests even exist because of google translate. It never takes them very long to get it.

I took Russian in college, and if you translate word for word from Russian to English, it sounds really trippy and insane. There is definitely a subjective translation skill that takes a while to learn.

machoprogrammer: Isn't there a way to turn off the auto-complete, anyway?

Yep. I have it turned off. You just go into Search Settings:

Google Instant predictions
When should we show you results as you type?

Then you put a tick next the the option that says "Never show Instant results" and then click on the "Save" button.

I recall hearing at one point that civil judgements in Japan are completely toothless. ie. If you're successfully sued by someone, and if you refuse to pay and otherwise completely ignore the judgement, absolutely nothing will happen.

Anyone know if that's true? If it is, I could see why Google wouldn't be overly concerned.

A couple days ago, I was trying to remember who was the voice for the Brain in Pinky & the Brain.

So I typed "pinky" into the search bar and was surprised to see auto-complete suggest:

pinky has aids
pinky has hiv


I was traumatized and thought my favorite mouse character had a life threatening illness.

I demand compensation!

I think he wants it turned off for everybody so they don't inadvertently see bad search suggestions about him.
