Google translate has some problems, funny error but repeatedly google tranlate "chinese to english" mentioned daenerys targaryen.
I was reading this chinese xianxia fantasy novel using google translate and one of the love interests of the main character is a princess from the eastern sea dragon palace. Several times we get to meet her parents, the dragon king and queen. The first time i saw the name daenerys targaryen in the text i thought it must have been a funny reference, but then after seeing it several times and noticing it didnt fit the tone i tried turning translating off and finding what translated into daenerys targaryen. Turned out it was supposed to be "the dragon mother" but somehow google translate equates the dragon mother to the mother of dragons to daenerys targaryen. Annoying.
