Lost in Google translation

Falling in love one awkward translation at a time.
Sometimes Google Translate can help with the language of love. Sometimes, it really messes things up.

Here at Spark, we like a good old-fashioned love story as much as the next person. Especially one that includes digital tools! And that's why we were excited about a story we heard on a new CBC podcast called Love Me, all about the messiness of human connection.

On its first episode, the podcast features a wonderful story about love and...Google Translate. Yes, Google Translate, a useful tool in a pinch, but if you've ever used it, you know that sometimes meaning can be lost in translation. And that can be frustrating or fun, or both, if you're Mac and Nico. To hear a longer version of the piece and for more stories of people trying to connect, visit Love Me
