I think most people think the Top Results Right Now is where the answer is. I notice many people say the site said the language they entered was Tagalog, but I think they are looking at that list. I initially thought that was a list of possible languages as I think many other do. It'd be good to clear that up.

It decides EVERYTHING is Filipino/Tagalog, or Cebuano, whereas it is actually Spanish, German, Italian, English, etc. It's a novel idea but it's just horrendously inaccurate. Example: "Yo fui al mercado ayer con mi mejor amiga." - Spanish Translation: "I went to the market yesterday with my best friend." What it decided: Tagalog (Filipino) What it would actually be in Tagalog: "Nagpunta ako sa merkado kahapon sa aking pinakamatalik na kaibigan."

SHOULD ACTUALLY BE:

¿Cómo estás muchacha? Ya me operaron dos pies todo bien…. Estoy estudiando lunes empiezo a la escuela besicos…. ¡claro que me acuerdo! Todo bien, ya mi operada…todo bien.

IS: Spanish, TRANSLATION:

How are you girl? Since I had surgery of my two feet, everything’s been all good…. I am studying Monday starting at the basic school…. Of course I remember! It’s all good, since my operation…all good.

Example:

What it would actually be in Tagalog:
“Nagpunta ako sa merkado kahapon sa aking pinakamatalik na kaibigan.”

Spanish looks NOTHING like Filipino…I suggest you fix this bug! ;)

I'm doing a touch of research on the page http://hmar.in/hmar/gospel-centenary-lawm to get an online translation but I can't even get the language recognised yet. Your page tells me it is cebuano, but I doubt it. Take care! And above all relax and have fun! Hi!
