的确，这是个大问题。BBC的Richard Taylor试着通过一位日语翻译来检验这一点。关于这个应用程序，他问了哪些问题，以及性能如何？
Reporter: Hello, how are you? Are there any good restaurants around here?Smartphone: [Japanese reply]Reporter: How well did that do as a translation, first of all?Japanese translator: Well, it’s understandable but it’s not perfect.
