Google Translate thinks there is only one kind of Spanish. it doesn't know, for example, that in Castilian Spanish (European Spanish), it's called an ordinador and not a computador.
i remember trying to use Google Translate when i went to the Canary Islands for work some years ago, since the local cab drivers there did not appear to know a single word of English.
so i wanted to have a few phrases translated just so i could exchange a few words with the drivers, and they of course noticed that i was using the wrong kind of Spanish.
