I study Norwegian, and I&#x27;ve seen some odd things like that in Google Translate. For instance, one time I translated a sentence containing a prominent Norwegian university that got translated to Princeton in English. I&#x27;m inclined to think that this wasn&#x27;t malicious or a joke, but simply a deficiency in the automation. I&#x27;ve read a little bit about how Google Translate&#x27;s automated stuff works, but not enough to feel confident to suggest how or why these kinds of errors happen.
