Can someone confirm/clean up this translation please :-)
 
Hey guys, I want to say (in Spanish):

Spending more money on Coffee than Alchohol lately. More interested in business and a certain few people than anything else. Still managing to have a shit load of fun in the process. I want to go to Spain, going to learn Spanish in preparation. I love you.

If I translate via Google etc. I get:

Gastando más dinero del café que alcohol últimamente. Más interesados en los negocios y algunas pocas personas que cualquier otra cosa. Aún logrando tener una carga de mierda de diversión en el proceso. Quiero ir a España, va a aprender a español en preparación. Te quiero.

But if I translate it back (which some people will to read what Im saying) I get:

Spending more money than alcohol coffee lately. More interested in business and a few people than anything else. Still managing to have a shit load of fun in the process. I want to go to Spain, to learn Spanish in preparation. I love you.

Which isnt quite right (especially the first line, which is the most important one to get my point across)..... Can anymore clean this up for me?

Thanks in Advance!
Jordan.

Hi Jordan,

Welcome to the forums!

First off, let me say that we're not a free translation service. You can get a professional translation elsewhere. ;)

Second, you can seldom trust a machine translation.

Third, the machine did surprisingly well with the sentences you gave it. For better results, try using complete sentences and avoid the profanity (it was misspelled, by the way). Use 'a lot' instead.
Only your last sentence was a complete sentence and it was the only one translated correctly.
