Why are there so many different translsations?

Question

it was something i was wandering and why does it say that it may not be accurate?

Answer 1

If you mean with the translator on SpanishDict then here is the reason in a nutshell.

It gives you three versions so that you can see three different ways to translate what you have entered. You will noticed that all three are slightly different. The reason that it says it may no be accurate is because it is a machine translation and is therefore very limited. A human translation will always be more accurate. Only use the translator to get a basic idea of how to translate something.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Basically because languages are complicated. Rarely is it the case that there is only one way to translate a given phrase into some other language. The usual situation is that there are several possibilities and the "popular" choice depends on a number of factors:fo you wish a "translation" that preserves/reflects the syntax of the original language (in some cases this may be a reasonable goal, but in the case of unrelated languages this may be impossible).

To put the question another way, you might as well ask, "Why do not all people speak/think/act the same way?"*

Answer 3

HI bones, welcome to the forum

Please use correct spelling on this site

The machine is always a machine....it gives you different options, most of the time, none is very accurate.

English correction: ...it gives you different options. Most of the time, none [of them] -are- very accurate. - Lasairfiona, Dec 16, 2009

Actually "none is" is the version preferred by those who care about grammar ("none are" is accepted [as a concession to popular opinion]} . - samdie, Dec 16, 2009
