I’d be lost without Google translator. Literally.

Google has saved my life on more than a few occasions since moving to Argentina. Honestly, I don’t know where I’d be without it.  For instance, I could have totally misunderstood my football buddy’s talking about whether or not we should play today at the usual venue, switch up both the day and time, or cancel the game entirely. If Google wasn’t so “let’s-think-of-a-solution-for-every-possible-problem-in-the-entire-universe”, I could have easily misinterpreted and ended up at a field on a day when no one was going to be there.  That would have been so embarrassing. 

So I thought I’d share the conversation we had so you can see how this incredible online tool has made a not-so-insignificant impact in my life.

But seriously, sometimes these high-level conversations are way over my head.

Alejandro:
I apologize for not having presented yesterday to the glorious fulbito on Mondays with the kids. Q I hope my replacement has been effective for the team in the q juice.
And I start the list for Monday is q.

Manuel:
At the end you can not go on to win on Tuesday. Continue on Monday.

Santiago:
As we talked in a pre-human during the festival on Saturday, the intention was to pass for Wednesday anyway, just in case, I scored for today.
but what's up? we do on Wednesday?
away said there was no time in club west
cat said yes
lilo said he would seek another popcorn
orcajada said, "who will?"

Andres:
We are, I got another, we all do not? because you say the ninth mule?

1 The gut >>>
2 Manu >>>
3 Friend of rolled >>>

Francisco:
I said because I'm half gil ninth. See you in a while

Lisandro:

Hernando:
On Wednesday goes like pineapple!

Sinead:
I have booger in my sink and I love play! What couch are you kick?  Oh ho!  Not so much pineapple I like!  Jewelry!

Francisco:
Goyo, you want to add? Jack, your friend trasandino? Peter, these to impersonate the trumpet?

Pedro:

Pedro:

Anyway if you can not get anyone I like

2 Manu >>

4 Lucas >>>
5 Friend of rolled >>>
6 Alejo >>

8 Julian >>

Lisandro:
Give me today I will see if there Boedo court on Wednesday at 21:30 or 22 .. So we turn to this clique that made the revolution of May .. and established the dictatorship of the lumpen proletariat .. With cat like Lenin, Marx Barbich Santi, Nando as Stalin and I like Edu and Manu Duahalde Fidel Castro

THE idea is not suspended on Monday but do another parallel on Wednesdays

Sinead:
Politics and soccer?! The mixture develops hemorrhoids for my legs to kick balls!!  Understand me? What funny!

Alejo:
yes, the field is reserved ad infinitum.
I do not play today, but no game.
with respect to change of day,
Martuchi already asked, so far no other time in the week.
rent can be seen from another court in any case.

Let me summarize the conversation (although I'm sure you did just fine): no game this week.  

Thanks Google translator. Two thumbs are in the air pointed high just for you!

  1. OMG...I seriously can't breathe. True story, I once used babelfish to apply for a job in Guadalajara. They wanted someone who spoke Spanish, and apparently didn't believe me when I said I did because they sent me an article to translate.

    The bad news was that I got busted for lying. The good news was that they were so short on staff they hired me anyway.

    Actually, now that I look back on it, there really was no good news...
