Google Translate and LingQ

Yes, Maria. So it did when I entered the sentence a few seconds ago.

This did not happen the first time I entered the sentence. I had to think about what I wanted in the hint and did change around the order of some of the words and change some of the English words that Google produced for me. How Google translate could work is that it used translations entered by its users in order to improve the translations that Google itself provides. So we do end up working for Google if we make suggestions that improve translations.

Could this be true?

And Odiernod, Google translate does provide reasonable spoken transcripts of short sentences. I do not know whether or not they can be exported into Anki.

I’ve got a feeling it is!

…definitely!
