I meant from Turkish to English the translation is pretty poor and also judging by the translations above it is still not accurate. Badgers post is a typical example. It may be fun but dont rely on it for accurate translations. Its the same if you went from German to English.
Try writing a sentence then translate to turkish then to german then to french then back to english and see if you have the same sentence.

It might not be grammatically perfect but it does allow you to communicate with a Turkish person who has no English......how often do we hear a Turk whose grammar is all to pot with gaps in their vocabulary yet we understand them perfectly well. Don't be over critical of anything that helps! :)

Brian - as always absolutely correct
(her zaman oldugu gibi kesinlikle dogru)

And it slips my mind the last time I walked into town and bumped in to a German, a Frenchman and a Turk  ;)

hayat mükemmel degil  :)

I agree Kapitan, translation is very bad.
For example "Asagidaki ödenmeyen faturalarla ilgilenir misin. 2009 yilindan kalanlarin acilen kapatilmasi gerekiyor hesaplari kapatamiyorum." turns out to be "Would you be interested in the following unpaid bills.In 2009, the rest can not close their accounts should be closed immediately."

Totally wrong.
