I usually use google translation because of accuracy and translation speed. But recently I found that several national name related sentences have opposite meaning. They are South Korea, China and Russia. I suspect someone flow wrong references into translation engine, anyway, I put examples below. The left is Japanese, the right is English and correction in () if it's wrong.
韓国が日本を侵略する。 Japan invaded Korea. (South Korea invaded Japan.) アメリカが日本を侵略する。 United States to invade Japan. (united states invaded japan.) 中国が日本を攻撃 China attacks Japan 中国が日本を攻撃。Japan attacked China. (China attacked Japan.) 韓国が日本を攻撃 Korea attacks Japan 韓国が日本を攻撃。Korea attacks Japan. ロシアが日本を攻撃 Russia attacked Japan ロシアが日本を攻撃。Japan attacked Russia. (Russia attacked Japan.) アメリカが日本を攻撃 Japan attacked the United States (The United States attacked Japan) アメリカが日本を攻撃。 Japan attacked the United States. (The United States attacked Japan.) 中国の日本攻撃。 Japan attacked China. (China attacked Japan) 中国の日本援助。 Chinese aid Japan. 中国の日本批判。Japan criticized China. (China criticized Japan.) アメリカの日本批判。American criticism of Japan. チャイナの日本批判。 Japan criticism of China. (China criticism of Japan) 韓国の日本批判。 Japan criticized South Korea. (South Korea criticized Japan) 北朝鮮の日本批判。 North Korea criticized Japan. Sometimes a meaning goes opposite with "。" which is Japanese period, though it doesn't happen in usual Japanese sentence. And this looks to be related with 'offensive words' like attack, invade and criticize. These countries are in depute with Japan for island(s) and recognition for WWII history, we are very appreciated if Google can correct these soon. I'm afraid of misleading our opinion to other countries colleagues by this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General" group.
