መለጠፊያ:Google Translate/ማብራሪያ

You have probably arrived here because you saw a copy of this message on your talk page, and you clicked on the "explanation" link.

This note is asking you not to use machine translation to compose articles in Amharic.

To show you just how bad the results can be, we have taken some Amharic and translated it back into English using Google Translate, which produced the garbled English which you saw. You may or may not have understood the general sense, but it is certainly not decent English. Well, we can assure you that the results when translating from English to Amharic can come out equivalently badly, if not worse. If you are using Google Translate for Amharic, please check the translation first to see if it's the same or very similar, otherwise the results may come out as unintelligible rubbish.

Below is an English translation of the same text, but by a human.

Thank you, (username), for your contributions to: (subject)

We're sorry, but it was removed, because your text seemed to be the product of an automatic translator (such as Google Translate).

If you would like to contribute, could you please write originally in Amharic, rather than with the help of machine translation?

Thanks.
