Anyone use Google Translate for making Ad Copy in other languages.

what do you mean ad copy? from what language to what language? google translate still makes errors, so ad copy, probably not. I guess you could use it as a start, but then you need to clean it a bit (depending on which language you are doing)
 
That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Google Translate is the most inaccurate online translator I've ever used.
For instance, something as simple as "Wie geht es ihnen denn heute" (which means how are you today in German) will translate into the weirdest, incomprehensible shit you've ever read if you're from there.
 
Four five dollers me translayt anyfink 2 anyfink
 
ok I tested google and yandex from English to French for the following:

I am not sure if what you said is correct, but I am trying to check righ now and I will be back shortly with my findings

google got:
Je ne sais pas si ce que vous avez dit est correct, mais j'essaie de vérifier maintenant et je reviendrai bientôt avec mes conclusions

yandex got:
je ne sais pas si ce que vous avez dit est exact, mais j'essaie de vérifier tout de suite et je reviendrai bientôt avec mes conclusions.

Nearly the same, both could pass for manual writing.

Maybe that's why I'm asking, I heard there was no such thing as a dumb question.

You know what? You've got a point. I'm going to help you.
You could try Systranet , HOWEVER from my experience only French, German and Spanish have the highest accuracy. Don't overload it. Type a sentence, delete it, type in the next. Never two in a row.

But honestly. Freelance translators are so cheap these days, you could have one write an Ad Copy in their language for you for less than 20 bucks on Upwork.

It's just for the Search Engine AD Copy. They only charge .03 a word to translate. Like with articles I rather pay someone but I still want to be able to do it myself.

What's the difficulty?
You know. I come from a software engineering background. And fact is, those translators mess up not because they don't know the language, but because each language has different rules for grammar and so on.

I can speak 5 languages, even though I'm fairly stupid. So if your ad copy doesn't have to be too complicated, I'd advise you to learn some sentences of the language you're targeting over the week since you're probably smarter than I am. That way you can make sure it won't be inaccurate. Good luck!

I working on learning The Language now. I always wanted to learn Spanish, French, and Mandarin anyway.
 
I think only Nigerian prince can answer to this question.
 
i see many ads like that on native ads maybe it can work on google give it a try.
 
you can have someone else translate it for you, if it's not a long text you could just ask a friend or something. or use google translate and have them correct the wrong parts for you. spanish is not a hard language and many people speak it. it's not hard to find someone to help.
 
Bad idea better pay few dollars for good translate.
 
I've seen the biggest companies do that dumb thing when they advertise to arabs and almost ALL youtubers who translate their titles into arabic like they can't afford 5$ to pay for a good translation while paying thounsands to advertise
