The Problem with Automated Translations

Come Again?  I didn't understand you.

The Power of Proofreading

Below is a short video of The Prince of Bel-Air theme song after it has been through Google translator a few times.  This is a comedy demonstration of the importance of knowing what you are trying to say and then making sure the message is coming across in the manner you wish.

This video was done as a spoof of how different the languages of our world are and how a message can be totally skewed in other cultures.
