My dear son shew me that in Google translator: You type the left in English, the translator automatically provide the funny translation as follow:

English                                        Chinese
Mr. Tang is rubbish                      唐英年是垃圾
Mr. Tsang is rubbish                   曾蔭權是垃圾

The translator is either very smart, or the developer has great sense of humor.

You can try.

I tried it. It should be:

English                               Chinese
Mr. Tsang is rubbish             曾先生是垃圾
Donald Tsang is rubbish       曾蔭權是垃圾

Anyway, Google translator is very smart.

"is rubbish" / "是垃圾" is not the issue here as "is honest" / "是誠實的" can equally be appended at the end of the sentence (though many may not concur).
Google translates:
Mr Tang as 唐英年 and Mr. Tang as 鄧先生
Mr Tsang as 曾蔭權 and Mr. Tsang as 曾先生
Mr as 議員[!?] and Mr. as 先生
It is interesting to take note of the different methodologies of Google's translation engine ...

In Google, Mr. Tang is actually 鄧先生.

It is true. Google translates Mr as 議員 while Mr. as 先生.

Interesting! Mr Wong is 王永平. Mr Li can be 李先生.

Actually, the Chinese translation can be changed by clicking the Chinese name. Google only provides you one of the many possible translations. However, in the case of Donald Tsang, he is so important that 曾蔭權 is the default translation of Mr Tsang. Again you can change the translation by clicking the Chinese name.
