So we want to show off a little\u2026 \u00a0One of our favorite French companies, Acad\u00e9mie Scientifique de Beaut\u00e9, has a wonderful Facebook page, which we immediately liked.\u00a0 The page is well designed, interactive and regularly updated and maintained.\u00a0 But we did find a curious little oddity.\u00a0 The French-language updates are followed by Bing-translator generated English translations.\u00a0 Sometimes, there are two or three different versions, some better than others, which made us think that maybe somebody was trying to \u201cclean them up\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n
Whatever the case, we thought this was a great way to show how automatic translation simply does not work…\u00a0 Especially when the ultimate goal is to sell a product, in which case you need flair and imagination and a certain way with language to make it all sound GOOD.<\/p>\n
Take a look:<\/p>\n
