Thank you for translating to the best of your ability. I have a tip that may help some if you use Google Translate. If you use the camera option, take a picture of what you are translating and either “select all” (this translates every word detected) or highlight the sentences you want translated with your finger, Google Translate will not only translate into English but will also translate it into the correct (or as close to correct) English sentence grammar structure. Cation this method can also translate the foreign name into English and cause some confusion.
Personally when I read the raws using Google Translate I use both methods (translating with and without using taking picture options). One thing I have learned while doing this is that grammatically English is backwards compared to other languages and the translated conversation doesn’t make sense because sometimes changing the grammar structure of a sentence can change the entire meaning of what is said. Basically 2 options in using Google Translate camera features: 1) use camera to translate while reading without taking picture is faster but translates word for word without altering grammar structure (can be confusing because and not make much since based on conversation or situation) 2) use camera and take picture (screen shot) of what you are wanting translated. Then either press “select all” (translate every word detected) or using finger to highlight select sentences, conversation, or word groping. This can take a lot longer BUT this option not only translates the words but also rearranges the words translated into the correct (or close to correct) English grammar sentence structure (this usually clears up the confusion from the first option).
