The first one is real but not the second.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It probably is real. Google Translate gets updated and translations change over time. It used to translate “inglasat uterum” (Swedish) as “glazed uterus.”

It means glass-encased veranda.

It no longer translates it to that.

I had to check, the Finnish word "kinkkukiusaus" which is a ham and potato casserole, still translates to "ham temptation"

Use it as a part of some other compound. It will translate fine.

For example, try slutt datafag lærd

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just gonna slide in here to say that both that and the original is basically gibberish, my best-effort translation of the last one would just be "stop computer science educated"

[–] vivendi@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes well google translate sucks

However datafag is rad as shit so I'm going to invoke law of cool vs boring

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Then let me bestow this blessed knowledge upon thee
A field of study is called "fagfelt"

[–] vivendi@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

There is no way Norwegian is a real language

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thought so, the end of finding dory taught me the meaning of slutt.

Is graduating not a synonym for ending?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Kind of. I'm just saying they posted a screenshot of a translation not currently happening and I could easily see it be edited in browser with dev tools or Photoshop for Internet points
