Male to Female translation tool wanted
I think Babelfish and Google's translation tools are some of the best services to be had on the web. They bring people together who might never have been able to converse.Aside from wishing these tools were more accurate, and wishing for translation of Arabic and other languages from hotly contested parts of the word, there's one translation feature I long for desparately:
Accurate translation from Male English to Female english, and Female English to Male English!!
Life without google gender translation services is endlessly confusing for both halves of homo sapiens sapiens. Unfortunately, I can only speak for common mistranslations of my half...
For example:
| Male | Female | Accuracy | Actual Translation |
| You look nice in that dress today | He wants to have sex with me | 10% | Thank you for doing the laundry |
| I'm going to go down to my office and work for a while | He doesn't want me around anymore | 20% | I need to support your shopping habit somehow |
| Fine | Fine | 0%> | Something is wrong, but I don't want to talk about it right now, and you should know what it is, but you don't, so, "fine". |
