Z. made a post yesterday, or maybe it was the day before, and one of her friends, a local woman, responded with "ha ha ha."
Facebook offered to translate this for me.
I thought, hey, sure, let's see, so I clicked the link, and got, "ha ha ha Translated by Bing."
This had its own link, so I clicked on it and was shown that the original "ha ha ha" was auto-detected as written in Catalan, and the English translation for that would be, "ha ha ha." Catalan! I could see that if the woman was posting from Spain rather than across town...
