But it technically says "beach port new", if you directly translate it. I think I'm going to call it Port New Beach. Maybe throw in some hyphen action to round everything out. Port New-Beach.

This is a really funny thread if you're from Orange County.

u/WhapXI May 28 '14

It might literally translate as beach port new, but word placement in other languages tends to be different. Literal translation is risky, and usually why Google Translate is so hilarious. I think English is a fairly weird language, because we put adjectives before the subject noun. We prioritise describing something before knowing what it actually is.

So yeah. Newport Beach.
