The online translators are fun. The most accurate language to translate online is Traditional Chinese. There are some languages that you cannot translate online. Most notably, Vietnamese... In the Vietnamese language, a man says a sentence one way and a woman says it another way. The phrase for "I love you" either translates "Man loves woman" ("Ahn eu em") or "Woman loves man" ("Em eu ahn.")

I learned that in Russian the "floor" and "sex" are the same word. So, be very careful in Russian how you say "floor." Most of the sites have changed the word пол (floor) to Ñ
