Naturally, my native and preferred language is American English... pero yo hablo suficiente español para tener un conversación, si la otra persona habla lentamente, y siempre estoy aprendiendo más. ;D

Speaking of "GT", Google Translate is OK at translating, but like most translators (online ones of course) they don't translate to proper grammar. I mean, not even half right sometimes. It is like completley switched. Hmm...

It helps to translate, not from your native language, but from english to the language you wish to translate to. The english translation is somehow more worked on than others.

Yep, somehow.
Anyways, it helps, too bad the grammar sometimes sucks, and then people say or you see you are talking...backwards.  :|

I can speak a lot of languages. English........um.... well, just english. I used to be able to speak a few words in french, but now I'm limited to bonjour :O.

As for GT, its not perfect I know, though its usually good enough, since I only usually translate to get something from a website just once. As for its grammar... what do you expect from a machine? When machines start creating robots (google = skynet?) perhaps it will translate the grammar correctly.

I obviously can speak English, American English that is. I used to know some Spanish, and French, but like Omega, I've forgotten a bit. I can greet someone in Thai: Err...........I forgot how to spell it.... :look:

Well, English is the most widely spoken language in the world so I would expect English translations to be the best. :|
