    Do you speak German, French, Italian, Portuguese or Spanish?

    If so, we have launched a new program that includes Google Translator, and I would be interested in knowing just how accurate it really is.

    German
    Spanish
    French
    Italian
    Portuguese

    Is it close, not so close, or dead balls on?

        Okay, what about keywords for the French reading search engines?

                I agree . . . . I guess I was hoping that Google would translate it good enough for their bots though.

                            christ the german version sucks ass baddog - the site is good, and I'll use it like we talked about. The site will still pull germans, since the keywords are pretty good

                                    As long as I am German, I won´t :D those Keywords are almost the same as the engl. ones. So he will not get as much germans as he could with this stuff. Lots of the words are also mixed and they end up in a worthless chaos. Just my 2 cents

                                      Well, translations are a pretty low priority right now. It is Google's tool, so hopefully it is good enough for them for the time being.

                                      We will try to find a better translator when we get the other features added.

                                      Googlebot is already visiting the site, so must make it comfortable enough to hang out.

                                        Portuguese is pretty bad as well. Of course you can get the picture, but its messy.

                                          Thank, Jack. We are pretty excited about this. Really did not expect to see Google visiting so soon.

                                            The Spanish version is really bad also.

                                                the Spanish one is horrible
                                                Where it says " El Paso De los Cuadros Del Sexo Ofrece Porn Libre Para La Vida"
                                                it should read: "el pase de las fotos de sexo ofrece porno gratis para toda la vida"

                                                (My wife says so, and she's Cuban, and very educated, so she knows what she's talking about)

                                                      Spanish and Portugese versions are muddy and confusing.

                                                        you are a very patient and mellow-minded man -- -- if it were ME suffering the above-in-evidence degree of opaqueness, i think i would scream -- so, i'm glad it's you here, and not me --

The main issue I get for translation there is it is not geared to adult. Ass = donkey and not butt. Most slang like tits or blowjob gets skipped or destroyed.

                                                                                        This is the case with all the translations (at least the ones I can read - french, spanish & italian) which is also why I think that a standard translation tool would not work unless the actual word in the English language is 'adult' and only has one meaning - which I don't think there are any. To pull off what he wants to do well - he'd need an adult themed translator where the first translation would be the slang or adult term for each word by default & if none exist, then it would go to the proper english meaning translated into the foreign language.
