Translated by pias
Target language: Engleski

hi how are you ? this is a test to see dictionary
Remarks about the translation
The original source text is ungrammatical, and probably means:
Hi, how are you? This is a test to see (how the) dictionary (works).

Original form of translation:
Hi how are you? This is a test attempt to find a dictionary.

this does not make sense: "det er en prøve for st se ordbog"... assuming that the "st" should, in fact, be "at" (= to), it still wouldn´t be "to find a dictionary" but rather "see dictionary" (without the article that is also missing in Danish even though it really should have had an article in Danish if it were to make any sense at all):
The direct translation would therefore be:
"hi how are you ? this is a test to see dictionary"
(I realize it is NOT correct English, but it is not correct Danish either!)

Anita!
I'll wait and see what Ian thinks, maybe
(or I think) that you are right.

Source language: Danish?
"hi" in Danish is something about bears. The last part of the sentence is unclear.

Anita is right in her translation. The requester nabilasal is not trying to find a dictionary but seems to want to test Cucumis (which he thinks of as a dictionary - ordbog), so what he writes (apart from hitting a wrong key in "st" ) is directly translated

"hi how are you? this is a test to see dictionary", understood as
"hi how are you? this is a test to see (how the) dictionary (works)"

A "hi" in Danish is where bears sleep in winter, but younger people often spell the Danish "Hej" this way, even if incorrect.
