Ministry bans use of Google Translate for signboards

[geovalin]

An inter-ministerial meeting led by the Ministry of Environment has decided to ban property developers from using Google Translate for their signboards and trademarks.

 

The meeting was held to carry out consultation and a full assessment of the environmental and social impact caused by poor translations at condominium and apartment development projects.

 

The inter-ministerial meeting also decided to instruct developers to discuss with specialists before making their signboards or trademarks, so there will be no mistakes in the translated Khmer language content.

I hope they will not do this in Thailand - some translations are seriously hilarious and I - for one - would not want to miss them for anything ...........

more than likely that Apple has paid more than Android; so that Apple's Babel is actually the targeted preference from now on...

its strange that google translator is next to useless. but cambodia is a small country so I guess there not a lot of demand or money in it. time the dictator was thrown out so cambodians dont have to go into lifetime debt to get an education
