Google Translate

For the past few months, I've been pretty busy with my final semester for my Diploma in Civil Engineering at KLIUC. And for this final semester, I have to do a thesis on a subject related to civil engineering. And while doing my thesis, I realized I have to write an abstract and an abstrak. So after I have wrote my abstract, the not-so-smart part in me was thinking,"Let's just use google translate for the abstrak." And so I did just that. Well, it turned out completely retarded. So now that I have almost finished my thesis and have a little time on my hands. I decided to do a little google translate from English to Malay for the chorus of Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars. =)

**In case you didn't know, abstrak is abstract written in Malay.

"When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are"

And now the Malay version as translated by google.

"Ketika saya melihat wajahmu
Tidak ada hal yang saya akan berubah
Karena kau menakjubkan
Hanya cara anda
Dan ketika anda tersenyum,
Seluruh dunia akan berhenti dan menatap untuk sementara
Punca gadis anda menakjubkan
Hanya cara anda"
