Negligent web surfer

Kevin Day, March 1st, 2008

When I was reading football news today, I discovered that the NFL has a Chinese website, nflchina.com. It’s mostly news articles that are translated into Chinese.

I used Google to translate the text to English, unsure of the results. I think it did a decent job. Here’s the Cleveland Browns page:

However, when I was browsing the site I got this error message at the top of a page:

You did not examine the competence of this website. Please sign.

I guess I’ll have to do a more thorough evaluation next time.

Also, I was disappointed that Google wouldn’t let me translate an already translated page. I wanted to see how the translations of translations would turn out.
