Don't give unorthodox linguistic aid -
10-14-2010, 11:02 AM
Hi All
I originally wanted to post this up on the language help page, but then I decide that this is probably a better place for it. So if any of the MODs want to move it, feel free Some of you, feel extremely proud thinking that "I am cool if people think that I know Japanese" Well, just say, I too sometimes are pretty proud of myself when I am able to help others learn a language. But to truly HELP someone, you need to really know the language I've seen too many examples of people picking up translation from Google Translate, Freetranslation.com or the like.... Please stop doing that, these translation are literally direct translation, somethng I refer as "Word to Word" translation. They are not wrong, but in most cases, it doesn't apply to the poster's context. Please stop pretending that you know the language unless you truly do, your help is causing confusion, and is giving out the wrong information, not to mention, its not helping the person asking the question at all.....

I can't believe people actually ''try to help'' others, if they don't even know the language. Jeez, this is definitely a problem. I think this post should've been in the Language section, but I don't have the 'powers' to move it.. I'll get someone to do it though. Thanks for bringing this up, it's definitely a problem!

The other day, I took a short sentence from news24.jp and threw it in to google translate, the translation wasn't far off, I mean, most people can guess what the article about, but MAN, it was hilarious.....

Still, good thinking on your part, godwine. I'm surprised it wasn't thought of earlier. O.o

Frankly, using online translation to answer questions in the threads does less harm than doing so in PM's.
My point is that you'll get caught pretty quickly anyway if you do that in the threads. I myself would rarely overlook. However, when a weaboo comes in, claims to know Japanese and starts teaching it in PM's where no one can see it, it does nothing but harm. It wil hurt JF's reputation in the long run. I know this for a fact because I get PM's from members asking me if someone is teaching them proper Japanese.
