> Do you work for Google Taiwan?

I have friends who work there, but afaik they all work(ed) for Chromebook-related projects. I'm not even sure if anyone in Google Taiwan is in charge of Google Translation.

> I think this pales in comparison to how you can't translate from or into Cantonese!

I agree. It doesn't translate from or into Taiwanese(Taigi) either tho.


Yeah that sucks. Isn't that related to (or the same as) Hakkawa?


Hakka is yet another language. Yeah there are so many "Chinese" languages...


Oh, right...Taiwanese is actually Fujianese/Fokkienese right? Or are there differences?

SO MANY...ugh...despite the best efforts of the Mandarins
