Lilly, it's the "Beauty of the Lilies" poem the way I put it in Spanish. So, in the poetry section, it's already in English. But someone who knows Spanish might not think I wrote it right. Once I ran it by people, and one said a certain line couldn't be right because it meant something; but that something is exactly what I meant it to say.

Well . . . let me put it here, and let's see what Paz Amor Musica has to say >

beauty of the lilies. . .hermosura de los lirios
and the daisies. . . . . y las margaritas

[lizzie]

well there are different styles of dialect for any one language i believe.

Some cultures may use slang words or variations of certain words.

Amory those online translators translate word for word, so sometimes what u get isnt what you would usually hear if actually conversing with someone.

comferelli ty brother pretty poem by the way.

i google translated

I would think a reliable computer translator would be able to take something in English, put it in Spanish, and then when it translates that Spanish into English, it will give the same as the English that was at the start. And what if I then went back to Spanish and back to English? How would the final English compare with the original? An example I enjoy using is >
Pollywogs will never crumble,
unless you let them dry like cookies.

After going to Spanish to English to Spanish and back >
Pollywogs never collapse
unless you let it dry, like cookies.

Another one gave >
Pollywogs never will crumble,
unless dejele they droughts they themselves like cakes.

[HolyGhostFire]

hey! whats a pollywog!? i dunno wat it is but i like it!

is it a baby froggy?

Yes, I'd say it's a baby froggy. But if you're not sure about this, then I think I'll check my dictionary to see if pollywog is an official word >

ah-HAH > pollywog is a polliwog. And it might literally mean wiggle-head > poll meaning head, and wog meaning wiggle

And a polliwog is a tadpole which can be a baby froggy, also a baby toad and baby of any other amphibian.

ty comfy

then this statement takes on a whole new meaning

Pollywogs will never crumble,
unless you let them dry like cookies.
