When doing the translations I'd like to see us adjust the sentence structure if needed, don't just copy and paste. If someone asked "What is your favorite food?" Would any native english speaker say "favorite food is my salmon"? No probably not. Even if salmon is intentionally possessive meaning their favorite food is their salmon that they own/farm/whatever, that's still not how'd we'd say it. Remember other languages don't structure their sentences the same way as English, so most of the time this is just going to be a misplaced or missing word. So "favorite food is my salmon" is the literal translation, the complete translation would be "My favorite food is salmon/ My favorite food is my salmon." 
Those who originally post the phrase i encourage you to critique the translations. Perhaps the best way to do this would be to private message the person who translated your phrase incorrectly and work out the kinks with them, they can then edit their post with the updated translation.
My goal for creating this game was to encourage us to not let language barriers prevent us from communicating about difficult topics. Sometimes this will mean figuring out rough translations together that a simple translation tool isn't equipped to handle.

You're right. But none of my sentence is not translated properly. This is normal because every language has a different grammar. It can not be taken for granted that everyone speaks English perfectly . In my language there are 7 cases, 15 times, many tenses and voice changes. I know it does not exist in English, and translations are not quite so good. The only way is learning grammar of all languages her ;)
