Hi All

Any one used Google translate to add extra language support to their games/apps for say French and German? now it's obviously not as good as getting the text translated by a real person but is it good enough to get away with for short sentences?

No, please avoid that. We can do some sharing here, I could to the German part.

Thanks guys, I don't have any requirements just something that popped into my head and was wondering how viable google translate would be.

it would work, its better than the rest for sure, however the people reading the translated text will be able to tell, its those subtle little language quirks that GT fails on and that a real person can do without thinking.

Xaron I will take you up on that offer at some point, Pierrou you as well, if thats ok.
