Yeah I don't really consider it as a fail because some languages don't have direct translations for certain words so you have to settle with a word that closely resembles the word. Like 'love' and 'like'

PB is merely trying to express his thoughts to his German friends who don't understand English.

TheEvilOne Wrote:I don't consider it much of a fail, as "mag" can translate to both like or love. An easy example would be the phrase, "I'm lovin' it." McDonald's promoted the phrase in multiple languages, and in German it translates to "Ich liebe es," and in which case "liebe" doesn't necessarily translate directly to love, it could also mean like. Also there is no shortened version of "liebe" to match that of the "lovin'" part, so that could be counted as another sort of fail. So "mag" could mean love or like, it all depends on the speaker's/translater's preference.

Allen dein base sind zu mich gehoeren.

you're both missing the point.

even if it said 'i like'

it still translated 'pornography' as 'Kinderpornographie'

Facepalm

Spoiler for Story of My life:
Quote:I'm 20 and I was a computer/electrical engineer major. I was into my third year and I had a year and a half to go.

Then 1 day as I am doing my programming homework and figuring out what the hell was wrong with my code,

I thought to myself 'spoon, i don't want to do this for the rest of my life.'

So I changed majors and now I am a proud music (vocal) education major. The point is do what you want to do in life. Cause its your life don't let anyone hold you back.

It's those Germans I tell you.  They were into taking over the world, and now they've built certain connotations into the language itself...

no offense intended for any Germans here
