Problem with MT (wrong language)

Question

Hello! 
 Thanks all for reading my question. 
 
 I have an issue with translating Samoan in Trados using google API(v2). 
 
 I set my project like: 
 Source - En(English) 
 Target - Sm(Samoan) 
 
 Then I used pre-translation --> Google V2 API. 
 The problem is that the output in target is " Hawaian ". 
 
 I thought it may be problem with google v2, so tried MT in OmegaT and it worked okay. 
 I can't find why in Trados it translates not to "Samoan" but to "Hawaian". 
 
 If anyone knows the solution I would be very greatful. 
 Thank you.

Hi Minji Kim I want to think that Google Translate V2 supports Samoan - as indicated here: https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/languages 
 You mention you tried OmegaT and it worked well - but that is not really comparable as they are 2 different platforms 
 Im not that familiar with google translate V2 - but could it be that your preferred language support for Samoan is not listed so its takes the next? 
 Please can you provide me with a sentence that I can use for testing in Studio using Google Translate V2 and what makes the output Hawaian vs Samoan? So something like: 
 Source String : XX 
 Samoan Target String: ABC 
 Hawaian Target String: XYZ Looking forward to your updated post
