Or, The translation was "crowd sourced" and different translators translated differently. Meaning that GT has to search for the statistically optimum solution. I have not been there for a while to use GT but doesn't it give you the option/opportunity to suggest a more accurate translation?

I suppose that Google considers capitalisation of the word after 'asante' to mean its a noun that should not be changed. `asante sana` gives `thank you very much` (which is the correct translation) `Asante sana & asante Sana` gives `thank you` (which is really Asante without the translation of 'sana', very much) `Asante Sana` gives `Asante Sana`, which could mean Google considers this to be a name. It could be used as a name. may need intelligence to detect when its a name in use `ASANTE SANA` gives `Thank you very` an incomplete translation.
