Or maybe some languages use a more "literal" translation when creating words. If you have a word for an item that covers up your extremities (shoe, which covers your feet), then why not use that same word to describe another item that covers a similar extremity (hand, which then would use a hand-shoe). It's an amazingly simple concept that doesn't require you to invent some lavish new word for people to learn (glove).

There's a reason why you see memes created with German and Germanic languages that seem really silly when translated to English (see: any youtube video that has some guy saying angrily: "This is a...It... i.e. This is a Nebelwerfer, it werfs nebel.) They often have words that literally describe what the item does or is (a hippopotamus, for instance, is literally translated as a "river horse" in German). When you think about it, it's an amazingly simple and efficient way of approaching language.

Honestly, this isn't a foreign concept in English (which is a Germanic language). See words like "Flamethrower" or "Earplugs".
Also: I suggest you consider looking into the field of cognitive linguistics.


Literalised translations for Chinese are hilarious as well - hence the "DO NOT WANT" Star Wars prequel memes.

"I want beat electric brain" -> "I will type on a computer"
"My centre literature is horse horse tiger tiger" -> "My chinese is only so-so"

Whaaa? I had a hamster when I was like 5 years old and I was assured that I must never allow it to have meat or it would get a taste for blood and become vicious. Which doesn't make much sense now that I think about it. The 70s were a magical time.

How do you moderate millions of cocks? I think Lego gave up on one of their family-friendly MMOs at some point because they just couldn't catch up with increasingly esoteric ways of constructing a giant penis out of lego pieces.

Nintendo spent a HUGE amount of time and effort on how to automatically block pictures of penises before launching Miiverse (though apparently a fair amount of that was wasted because they were using photos of penises not drawings)

Japanese penises are also easily distinguished by being made of minecraft blocks.

When I was getting paid to do that, that's pretty much what I told people. Except for the bit about kids, cuz I wasn't doing it for the kids, I was doing it so we could get better advertising dollars. I'd then segue into explaining the difficulties in programmatically differentiating between lady tits and dude tits, and how little any algorithm to identify nudity helps when attempting to identify someone whacking off.

It's just naughty enough to get people's attention, it turns out. No problem at all.
