Are you a good man, or just a troll? Many here think you are just a troll.

If you are not a troll, do the following two things below. It will help prove you are not a troll:

1. Please post what you wrote above in your native language.

2. Then post the url (the web address) of the translation site that you used to translate what you wrote into English.


He's talking in Turkish and google translate DOES butcher the translation...it's pretty funny.

I want the OP to post both exactly what he wrote first in Turkish, and then exactly which translation site he used. That way, we will find out if he's really Turkish (if his Turkish is truly fluent), and if we can exactly replicate his translation results.

This will prove, once and for all, whether he is a troll or not.

If he is a sincere Turk reaching out to an American site, then we need to acknowledge that and treat him better.

But if he is a troll, then he needs to be gone.

That's a VERY clever idea!

I'm sitting on the fence (unsure) if they are a troll or not, because the videos seem to be of a real person, and yet, sometimes their responses seem to be in very good English.
Overall they are going to tend to be a troll either way, because even if they really are Turkish, saying stuff like "Am I a good man?" is not a sensible question to put to internet people who don't know you, regardless of their native language.

At least he's not depending on a translation site, saying "I am a happy man," when in reality, he's trying to say "I am a gay man." :p

You might be amazed at how correct you example was.

I just had a very funny play with google translate.

It went as follows ...

This is a link to the translator I used

Initial message = "I am a troll"

====> English to Turkish = "Ben bir trol değilim"

====>Turkish to English (leaving google translate set to auto detect) = "I'm not a troll"

Maybe google translate could do with some improvement(s).

1 -) is okay, but how will you know my language?
2 -) Okay, I will never leave a link .. But how I'il make viewing of the video?

Friday I quit my job. This Saturday and Sunday there are university exams. My friend got in there. In fact, tonight was my last day and I'm bitter, but because I loved him and said:'' if you do not find elements come tomorrow evening at 18:00,'' I said you could go're studying. I've read more books, the book did not. Examinations do not like anyway ...

You did good, bad?

I'm using google translator. Sometimes words may be meaningless. Please excuse me.

Am I a good man?

Or entire posts.

^ haha!

I was listening to that song and just wanted a thread to paste that lyric into. This thread seemed like a better opportunity than most for some reason.

Even if he's a legit Turkish guy, he's still saying some dumb, unrealistic crap on here. And being ATOT, we need to treat him accordingly.

If I came on here asking you all if I was a good man, and that I want to move to Hollywood with my 50 movie ideas, etc etc you'd all shame me.
