   I don’t know any Chinese, but you will get a better translation if you don’t use ALLCAPS.

   I tried translating your text and both “I’M” and “APPLE FACTORY” gets mistranslated into Danish, so there’s a good chance that it doesn’t get parsed correctly.

   This text got me the correct Danish translation:
   HELP I’m trapped in an Apple factory

   That’s a terrible translation by Google.

   You can’t quite put across the all-capitals lack-of-punctuation thing in Chinese. You could just miss out the punctuation, but it might be confusing. Given that, my best version is: 救救我! 我被困在苹果代工厂!
   (jiu4 jiu4 wo3! wo3 bei4 kun4 zai4 ping2 guo3 dai4 gong1 chang3!)
   (Literally: Save me! Me trapped in Apple factory!)

   I checked it over with a native speaker, and it works for him.

   The result of google translation for this sentence is not exact, here is my translation: 救救我，我正身陷苹果工厂。

   There’s a quick trick in cases like this to see how accurate is your translation: just try to re-translate it into english, and see what happens. In this case, Google says: “Help I’m trapped take an apple plant” (http://translate.google.com/#auto|en|%E5%B8%AE%E5%8A%A9%E6%88%91%E6%98%AF%E5%9B%B0%E5%9D%90%E4%B8%80%E4%B8%AA%E8%8B%B9%E6%9E%9C%E5%8E%82)

   Joss’s translation seems good. Here is another translation: 救救我！我正身陷苹果血汗工厂！(Note that 血汗工厂 = SWEATSHOP)
