Drew,

I just tried it using the translator.

I typed in "Dear Mom" and was given "Dear Mama." Hmmm. The Mama is
correct however "dear" is not.

How are you = jak sie masz , is correct.
Unas remont domu = Unas remont domu That didn't help! In English the
phrase is "We are renovating our home."

The translator couldn't handle the word "home" which is domu.

I would suggest deleting this site from your bookmarks/favorites.
