So I am learning Korean as a hobby and just now I started using google translate with its listen feature to get a grasp of how words sound. At first it was just song lyrics and fun but then I put in Lim Yo Hwan and behold.

That's pretty badass, as expected from Google. However, I just tried 김택용 (Bisu), and it translated it into Stork, hahaha.
Blah.

That's pretty awesome!
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

You guys realize that people can suggest translations for things? So it's not quite as awesome you as you think.

Works for Jaedong, Boxer, Stork, and mistranslates Bisu->Stork. Didn't work for Flash, Nada, Yellow, Savior, Nal_ra, oov.

For fun I also tried running the IDs through English->Korean. Didn't work.

No expert but from past experience google translate is TERRIBLE to learn a language as it doesn't account for syntax etc etc. I suppose just to hear how a word sounds it would be fine though. There is also a Justin Bieber pubert vietnam translate joke quite good and I'm not even a hater.

Google Translate is actually surprisingly good at translating some languages. I've translated some long pieces of German text to English and been surprised at how largely accurate the translation was. At times it's even good at idiomatic translation; for instance, it translates the phrase "wie heute," literally "like today," to "as it is today."
