#2

for #1 you'd need to say "à ma sœur"

well google translate is really misleading

[deft spear]

deepl would be better for that

[harsh umbra]

google translate is not a ressource for language learning

[deft spear]

but translators in general are not very reliable in checking what something means

[harsh umbra]

deepl would probably get it right, but it's not good for language learning either
it's just giving you the most probable output for a given input and understands nothing about how the language works

[opaque shuttle]

just check deepl which is also wrong

[harsh umbra]

we're telling you that it's not a good ressource

lmao

Ok merci beaucoup

I think the translation is because english is a bit more ambiguous as to what direction the "to" goes

https://i.hep.gg/tLU6j_VfL

the other translations are clearer about the direction

I still wouldn't suggest that as the first translation, but it's not incorrect per se

e.g. "introducing my husband to my dog" could very well be showing the dog to the husband

or "introducing someone to a new environment"

etc
