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.

Now that I got that tick out of the way, I’m not so happy with the translator. 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.”

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!
