Stuff like, if you mean to say "Kill this monster!", the translated version of the sentence in Japanese would sound like something awkward such as "This monster is to be killed!"

    I'm giving a very lame example, I know - JP speakers please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Yeah your pretty much right. Sometimes reading some translated shouts in uldah are funny (the ones google translate), you get the meaning but its said in such a way it makes you laugh.

    What i want google translate to say:
    "Looking for party members! One more and we will head out, PM me your class and job!"

    what it translates to the JP from google translate:
    "Find my party member! One more, we will go forth, I am PM, the class and work!"

    LOL
