The first one is real but not the second.

It probably is real. Google Translate gets updated and translations change over time. It used to translate “inglasat uterum” (Swedish) as “glazed uterus.”

It means glass-encased veranda.

It no longer translates it to that.

I had to check, the Finnish word "kinkkukiusaus" which is a ham and potato casserole, still translates to "ham temptation"

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Use it as a part of some other compound. It will translate fine.

For example, try slutt datafag lærd

Just gonna slide in here to say that both that and the original is basically gibberish, my best-effort translation of the last one would just be "stop computer science educated"

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Yes well google translate sucks

However datafag is rad as shit so I'm going to invoke law of cool vs boring

Then let me bestow this blessed knowledge upon thee
A field of study is called "fagfelt"

There is no way Norwegian is a real language

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Thought so, the end of finding dory taught me the meaning of slutt.

Is graduating not a synonym for ending?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Kind of. I'm just saying they posted a screenshot of a translation not currently happening and I could easily see it be edited in browser with dev tools or Photoshop for Internet points
