Refection

Throughout the course of this blog I have learned much. I never liked blogging and that has not changed. Each time we had to sit down and write on this it was torture. But this is the final one that I shall be writing so I am thankful for that. I learned something’s about the author I was writing about but wasn’t able to find a way to incorporate it into the blog. For example I found out that Darren Shan is just a pen name and that his last name is an Irish name that I can’t spell for the life of me. I did not learn about this information till a few post ago when it was too late to post it. Also I learned what his first novel was he wrote and found it in my school library but sadly I can’t remember the title of the book. It seems I’m having a lot of trouble remember things this week. Well all and all I choose a bad topic and I had trouble researching it because it bored me to no end and I am just thankful that this is the last and I never have to write another blog again…I hope. My suggestions for when you write a blog are make sure you blog a topic your actually care to research and one that interest you and not something you think will be easy and be able to knock out. Then again if you’re doing this for pleasure and not a school assignment (only reason I’m doing this) then you probably around knew this. And another thing when doing a blog (for pleasure or not) make sure that your typing is easily readable and not something most people have to strain to read. If people can’t read your blog then your just wasn’t your time in writing them. Blogs are to pass information on to another person not to confuse them with strange typing. But then again if your blog is on how to confuse someone by writing a blog then you could write in a way that confuses people but then it would still defeat the purpose of writing your blog. Anyway I still suggest you read books by Darren Shan they will keep you wanting more and more (if you enjoy those kinds of books and if you enjoy reading). I’m not sure if I said this earlier but 3 of Darren Shan’s books has became a movie but if you read those books then it will ruin the movie. It’s from his Cirque Du Freak books 1-3 and they are wrapped up into one movie. They are so different if you watch the movie then you don’t know pretty much anything that happens in the books.

Problems with Google Translate

      Google is well known for being a wonderful search engine. It is also something people use to translate different languages. What most people don't know is that Google Translate isn't a good translator what so ever. It doesn’t accurately translate anything unless its translating the language back to the same language. One way to test that theory is you can type something into Google Translate and then reverse it back to the original language and you will see it change the words and the meaning of what you originally typed in. you probably shouldn’t trust this program to do your work with or it will probably end badly for you. Unless of course you get lucky and it actually translates the thing right but it’s not easy to know when it will do that. Also if you’re using a translator then that most likely means you don’t know how to speak the language that you are looking up so you wouldn’t know whether it’s right or wrong. For all you know you could have been saying “the file is on the left counter” and it comes out as “I’m going to kill you tomorrow.” Now that’s kind of extreme and I don’t actually think it fails that bad but I’m not sure it might for all I know. All I do know about Google Translate is that it’s not accurate. Now if you wish to risk it and try to make a project using Google Translate and it comes out wrong and you end up failing or getting fired because of it that’s your own choice and I won’t stop you. I can’t stop you from making a mistake but you would probably be better off going on to Google and searching for a translator and use that. More inconvenient but probably more accurate.
