That's Korean :) I'm very surprised Babelfish could make anything resembling sense out of it, especially if you asked it to translate from Chinese. It usually makes nonsense out of my Japanese spam even when asked to translate from Japanese; as a sample,
Like the girl girl the face it does lovely and ハメyou do not want, is? ?
* The man doing the complete free register, just waits.
As for ratio of the person URL of the annoyance mail which is thought as encounter system has been clicked, the teenager 14.3% and 20 generations 20% and 30 generations as for 30.5% and 40 generations 16.6%, were all the generation 2 column levels.

You could probably have opened the emails safely enough, unless there's a flaw in Firefox or GMail.

I've noticed that translators guess with Chinese a lot and seem to make anything translated. I once did it with Russian and got semi-nonsense, but something all the same.
I think it's that Chinese has so many characters, everything means something, but it won't actually be useful or coherent.

[NineTwoZero]

yup. well I didnt get anything outta the mail.. :( I was hoping that I'd get a lifetime supply of ****popups. lmfao jus kiddin.

[Twey]

The same should apply to Japanese, which also uses the kanji/hanzi. Korean technically uses them, but only hangul, their phonetic alphabet, is in common use. Personally, I'd think this would make it harder to machine-translate accurately.


I think it's that Chinese has so many characters, everything means something, but it won't actually be useful or coherent.That and that fact that its grammar is quite different to English. Since there are so many characters, all with a very defined meaning, and Chinese uses adverbs rather than inflection, I'd presume it would actually be easier to machine-translate, not harder; however, I suppose meaning could be lost on the other end, especially with a flexible framework that supports many languages. A simple English<=>Chinese translator might have more luck.

Those translations from the oriental make about as much sense as many of the English language spam emails I've received:


Monkey go Detroit got required

for example. Which is a pleasant change from:


Did Mary send you this already?

Many spam emails have several paragraphs of nonsense before you get to the real message, in an effort to avoid spam filters. How can you tell the difference between oriental nonsense or a poor translation and occidental nonsense?

[Twey]

In my case, I can actually read most of the Japanese spam I receive, so I have a foundation on which to base my ridicule. Can't speak for the Korean though.
