Abstract
In this paper, we describe the calculation of accuracy and understandability of the Google translations of 15 Nepalese and 22 English letters written by children. The accuracy of the translation is calculated using a Minimum String Distance algorithm comparing with the correct translation. For the Understandability calculation, 92 English and 36 Nepalese children participated in an activity that ascertained this. We found out that most of the translated texts are understandable even if they are not accurate. In the paper, we also unpick how Google Translate loses some information during translation and we discuss its effect on the understandability. We also explore the creativeness of children when they were trying to understand some unclear translations.
