Google translate use to be hilarious. Some of the Chinese translations in the early days of Google Translate were comedy gold. It has goen much better than ti use to be. But I still recommend if you are translating from English to Chinese, once you get the Chinese for what you are trying to say, translate that back to English, generally it is fine, but on occasion it is WAY off. Once had a coworker try that as a joke and send me an email, Google translated it, and he thought he was calling me a Jerk in Chinese. When I showed it to Mrs Wu, she asked why is he calling you a rapist.
Google translated it VERY wrong. To this day Ihave not yet let him forget that ;)

I still do that with English/French/English when I'm doing official stuff, letters to the Imports (Tax) or CPAM/Ameli (health service) etc.

Always best to make double sure.

For fun, go to google translate enter something like "have a nice day" and translate it at least a half dozen times into other languages. The last time it came out as "good day"

At least it's not a grumpy bear on the lookout for picnic baskets

Not a fan of goats, either?

I wouldn't mind Hades, though maybe not this time of year. I'd rather wait for the cool months, so I can see Persephone.

You should realize, of course, that the Lord of Karma is a cat and you have just earned being a cat lady in your next life spending every second of the day caring for your 50 cats.

All the cats became terribly ill around the time the Covid lockdowns hit.

It took me about 3 hours twice a day to get them fed/medicated(several had to have food/liquid forced on them).

Been in hell, not a nice place to be.

Also been to the gates of hell at Solfatara.
