Google translator is great at least when you are looking for a laugh. But I found out these translators are able to learn. My boyfriend once sent a card to my friend and she sent one back to thank him and she wanted to write "Stay the way you are". She put it into the translator as she doesn't speak English and what she got back was - and this is no joke - "thumpsucker"!!!!!! So, having no idea at all she wrote that on the card and, of course my boyfriend was quite amazed, to say the least. Well, we asked her where she got that from and she said google translator. So I tried the same thing and also got back "thumbsucker". Then I put it in in English and the German version was sort of ok. Then I tried it again the other way round and this time it was also ok in English. I found that quite amazing.
