Stephen Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Posted March 28, 2016 after some backtracking http://www.token-net.com/token/201601-14.html California living Tomoshige Fujiwara (Kaga) Quote
SteveM Posted March 28, 2016 Report Posted March 28, 2016 Ahhh. I get it. 加州住 California sometimes (rarely nowadays) is translated into kanji as 加州. So 加州住 gets machine translated into "California living". I guess this is a slightly more plausible translation than "living in Kaga province", but one day, soon, machine translation will be clever enough to determine when 加州 should be California or Kaga. 3 Quote
