take your pain --> վերցնել ձեր ցավը

I am going to kick you in the ass --> Ես պատրաստվում եմ թռչել ձեզ էշ

 

Also the phonetic translation (reading out loud) is kind of entertaining!

 

I LOVE this one though!

This is hilarious :P , but otherwise in a way not funny . Is this how spellchecks will work? Also remember the on and off debates we have had about tyranslation- literal v contextual. If this is how one learns the Armenian language, Vay mezi :msn-cry: ! I’m surprised it does not convert “kash/քաշ to khash/խաշ

Շունը հիշէ փայտը քաշէ

Dog hishe wood kashe

Յիշէ- brought = dog yishe wood kashe

Pronounced dog yish wood kash

Բարն եմ սիրում =I love barn

Բառն եմ սիրում= I love word

Let's have some fun. Enter some well known sayings and see what happens.

Look what cheese head brought -պանիր ղեկավար :D

Does that mean Sip is a manager at the cheese factory? :goof:

Actually the Armenian translation is in alpha which means not even beta! It is very preliminary. Google always likes to launch something then iterate and keep improving it. Also as more people use it not only does the system learn and adapt but also people can contribute better and better translations (hopefully).

 

As far as how it works, I don't quite know the internals but it's based on statistical machine learning (it's not rule/grammar/vocabulary based). Google just looks at many many existing Armenian pages and also some existing 1-to-1 translations and statistically "learns" how to translate based on these existing texts. It's pretty cool actually that it works at all!!!

էշն ինչ գիտի նուշն ինչ է - eshn nushn knows what is what

էշը ինչ գիտի նուշ ինչ է - donkey knows what is in almonds

մի ծաղկով գարուն չի գա - A spring flower does not come

 

տո լավ է - to good
