epic -> google translator

epic has a positive meaning in English, and most often a negative sarcastic/ironic one in the German episch.

This was an epic battle would have the negative meaning: why did it take longer than the Trojan war to win and why your narrating is longer than Homer's illiad.

You have to watch faces and listen to pronouncation to notice if it is ironic. Something an automated translator is really bad.

Bing Translator -> Speech recognition

Speech recognition works quite good at very easy languages like english to very bad for more complex languages like Finnish

Neptune -> Atlantic

The USA replaced it's Lockheed P-2 Neptune submarine hunter with Lockheed P-3 Orion. Germany was choosing the Breguet Atlantic. Flew a few times with it when I had to learn its weapon systems as an airfield firefighter. Ugly beast, pilots often turned one engine down to save fuel. This way it could stay airborn for nearly a day when patrolling without needing a tanker plane. The plane was however best liked by Greenpeace. It's sensors allowed a not planed use for controlling baltic sea for freighters who illegal released waste oil into the sea.
