A little experiment with google translate

Looking through and evaluating once again the services offered by great Google, it hooked on Google Translate. For testing, I chose a small news about Apple about Mashable.com (link to the original article - http://mashable.com/2008/01/09/apple-prepares-to-standardize-itunes-prices-across-europe/ )

At once I will make a reservation that, most likely, the news does not contain anything noteworthy and entertaining for the average habrator. I just wanted a real example to find out how the service is suitable for use and share experiences.

So, the original version of the translation from Google:

- Apple (From the author: it's just a pearl from Google) is preparing to standardize iTunes prices across Europe
')
Within six months, Apple will lower their prices across the UK iTunes store to match the prices they already charge the rest of Europe. (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Canada, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland and Spain)

The reason why England shop was more expensive was due to music companies setting higher wholesale prices on a computer to make songs sold in the UK. To fix this, Apple requests that all record companies lower wholesale prices, so that they can, in turn, lower what they charge consumers. Any company that does not lower their prices will be cut from iTunes.

In other words: Play by our rules, or not play at all.
- Now a slightly edited version with my changes (the text I added is in upper case, deleted by strikethrough):

- Apple Apple is preparing to standardize prices in iTunes prices across Europe

Within six months, Apple will reduce its prices across the UK to iTunes Store, in order to match the prices they already charge in the rest of Europe. (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Canada, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland and Spain)

The reason why the store in England was a more expensive store was due to the music companies that set the higher wholesale prices for a computer manufacturer on a computer to make for the songs that are sold in the UK. To fix this, Apple makes a request (From the author: REALLY REQUIRES, but the meaning is clear) so that all record companies would reduce wholesale prices, so that they (APPLE) could , in turn, MAKE THEM LESS that they charge TAKE with consumers. Any company that does not reduce their prices will be cut out of iTunes.

In other words: Play by our rules, or not play at all. (From the author: Glitter)
- Naturally, this text needs to be improved, but, as can be seen, with a relatively small amount of editing, the note came out quite folding and, most importantly, the meaning became completely clear.

I was a little surprised how the word charge was translated twice. But in general, you can live. :) I think that I will conduct a couple of similar experiments for purely personal purposes.
