Unuseful Translation

When I'm going to need to have to translate this?

Spanish: Tu gato parece muy alegre.

English: Your cat seems very happy.


Transparent Language doesn't know my cat at all.

In Germany, you (personally) would never hear, "Deine Katze scheint sehr glücklich zu sein." [see Spanish for translation] You would probably hear, "Deine Katze wirkt irgendwie wütend. Hat sie gerade Samuel L. Jackson zitiert?" That means: Your cat appears to be angry in some way. Did she just quote Samuel L. Jackson?
