<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 197412, member: 33"]The mention of Hindi reminds me of something that happened yesterday. I visited one of the photography collector groups on Facebook and for some reason decided to re-read the pinned post at the top of the group. The post was written in English, and below it there must have been a "translate" button that I didn't notice. I accidentally clicked that, and the same paragraph appeared again in English, but in a more "fractured" and ungrammatical version than the original had been in. Under that was a link about rating the translation. I clicked on that, and one of the things it asked was to let Facebook know if the original was not in Hindu! Not Hindi, but that was not the funny part. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It was possible to type in what the original language was, so I typed in "English."
