Auto-translation

Many years ago I met a woman who is less intellectual though who are learning English in one private school. I sent her email written in English and she sent me back in English at any time.

The problem was I was unable to understand her English at all. The words she used were certainly English, but it didn't make any sense at all.

One day I tried auto-translation to translate my blog. Its Japanese didn't make any sense, either though I agree the words were definitely Japanese.

A Japanese woman who read my blog through auto-translation said my blog didn't make any sense in Japanese.

It is still too hard for auto-translation function to translate correctly in the case of English - Japanese, but many less educated people believe simply it's an omnipotent magic tool.
