just another funny case of machine translation. This is one of the line between human intelligence and machine "intelligence".

I am impressed, not only can Google translate languages, but it can also detect that you are about to have wedding and send warnings on the potential consequences.

I don't see the problem... Hellchildren are delicious, Google is just offering a suggestion.

I wonder if/when the translation algorithm will consider context-related semantics in addition to finding combination word or phrase matches. In this case, most other words in the translation are food related, so it could have given a higher probability or weighted score toward food type terms if the source word already has a low direct translation score.

"Laks" for salmon is an etymological relative of the Yiddish-derived "Lox" for smoked salmon as served on bagels.
