Thread: Auto-Translator problems

I have a lady friend who responded in spanish part of her message. The auto translators give a confusing translation. So I need some help. She is from Mexico if that makes a difference. I have heard that the Castillian Spanish is more formal than Mexican street lanquage. So here goes;

Es hermoso saber que estas vien. Se te extraña.

I hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello rd123,

Auto translators won't always give you an accurate translation (especially if the source text is misspelled).

Wrong = Es hermoso saber que estas vien. Se te extraña.

Right = Es hermoso saber que estás bien. Se te extraña.

It is wonderful to know you are okay. I miss you.

Thank you Xóchitl. I am probably too old to learn this lanquage but it is so beautiful and romantic (especially the music) that I may try. I just hope I don't overdo my welcome on this forum.
Thanks again,
Rick

Hola Rick,

It's never too late to learn. Don't be afraid to ask. There will always be someone here willing to help.

Auto translator was translated in a word for word basis the reason why it can’t give you an accurate translation especially when you are going to compose a whole sentence. It is still best to ask someone who really know the language.
