Facebook Translate - A work in progress
Re: Facebook Translate - A work in progress
That's right.
Maybe in some cases.
But if you look at the pictures, there are definitely some situations where they use bb referring to a girl.
There seems to be some people in Cambodia also using Vietnamese, just to add to the confusion.

Who can tell us others, either listed here or not listed here?
The meaning of some words can only be got from the context. For example:
mean - have, if they are speaking Khmer. If they are speaking English, it is the English word.
men - true, if they are speaking Khmer. If they are speaking English, it is the English word.

Re: Facebook Translate - A work in progress
IMO, FB translation of Khmer, even in well structured sentences, is totally useless and way way worse than GT. So, yes, work in progress, cannot regress.

Re: Facebook Translate - A work in progress
Just to clarify, the OP message 'Sart nas bb' was from mother to daughter. The bb was baby, but is not a usual spoken term between them. It was a play on what they've seen from many fb friends from other countries who always write 'sart bb'. Also, bb is sometimes used by me as a joke to them.
Got it, bb?
Got it, bb?

Excited to see that option in the coming days. I found a bit of error in google translate but still a manageable thing.
