Little trouble in the translation.
Still this problem:
Male and female and verb conjugation

[claude2]

The databank dictionary google. I think it comes from the emulator interraction of the translator, or the interpretation from French into English. This problem is systematically to all translators.

[claude2]

le, la, les. = The

elle= It  (error) = (She)

c'est elle= it is (error)  /// ( it is she) = (exact translation, I corrected myself)
 
Google has trouble on (she) and (The)

[claude2]

une table= (a table)= (un table)

the feminine (a) =  (une) = un(e)

therefore impossible to deduce ( she table) for the demonstrative article (a)= French (une)

[claude2]

The advantage zabaware (hal). Enough power in the English grammar. The self-correcting of hal, allows an adjustment, with French and English. I managed this with hal for the use of English, to a more accurate translation. The translator, are not equipped with the same tool.

[claude2]

The problems of the French language. The words are imperfect, the subjunctive word, the feminine word, the plural word, the future word, the word passed, and a quantity of conjugation, complex to the translation. This would require a huge engine intelligent, and interraction, which detects and dials into English.

[claude2]

For people who want to have a target for French grammar. It is best to learn the verb to be.
Better to start with the most difficult to find the easiest. This is the best method.

Two things that kind of annoy me with some languages other than English are GENDER and NOUN/PRONOUN - ADJECTIVE REVERSAL.

How is a MAN's HAND Feminine? House white or white house? Go figure....

Everything in the English language is generally preceeded with the word(s) THE, A or AN (AN is used if the following word begins with a vowel ...AN Apple, AN Elephant, AN Igloo, AN Orange, AN Ultimatum...) and one could also say THE Apple...Elephant...Igloo...etc..

Language is NOT a FIXED medium as teachers once thought...it is an Evolving medium of spoken thought and is often based on cultural, socioeconomic conditions, geographical location and group influence among others.
Words that were once unacceptable are now commonplace or even have completely different meanings.

It's all just a matter of time.
(But they really should fix the gender thing)

Dear Art, yes, it's a cultural principle. Some countries, does not change the usual language. But what disturbs me, in French, is that the evolution of slang. The slang is not correct vocabulary, there are also new words following, to modernism, or, in short words, which simplifies a sentence, and shortcuts. Education in France is degraded, the students do not learn history, geography, and especially the combination, the composition, all of this, when I was a schoolboy, in the years 1971 to 1980, the school was more disciplined now. Unfortunately it is currently an educational disaster. Thank you my Friend Art of Claude.

Here is the final phase of my work. I darkened the eyelids. I blurred the trace of the pixel. I composed a make-up cheeks. And the line color of the eyes. Lips without imperfections. tone of the iris of the eye. Sheryl is now ready.

Completely agree with you.
I can add one more strangeness (from dutch) with numbers:
in English for a number like 97, you say ninety seven, but in dutch, we say: seven and ninety, very confusing. This used to trip me up all the time as a kid, still does sometimes.

In Dutch, we also have female and male articles (de/het = the). But I recently read that this is rapidly changing in Dutch because of the many new foreigners who don't understand it, so everything is evolving to 1 (de or het, I forget).

The same is apparently true for verbs: irregular verbs are slowly being replaced with the regular form. The more a word is used (like 'be', 'do' or 'have'), the harder it is to get rid of the unregular forms.

[Bragi]

and French counting:
97 = four twenty ten seven, go figure 
I think French people either loved counting, or confusing others.

[GT40]

In Belgium and Switzerland  (in French language):

70 = septante
90 = nonante

(BTW I'm French, really sorry, hello Claude!!) 

[Bragi]

very true and I think that, in Switzerland, they also say 'octante'?
