Fun With Translators

[Sionnach Glic]

Something I stumbled across on another forum. This is a nifty little online translator program that takes a phrase, translates it into a number of different languages, and then translates it back into English. The results tend to be rather amusing.

For example, let's put what I just wrote into it.

After being translated 54 times, this becomes:

"Activities. Written and translated into English on the Internet can be useful, will move to translate the language. March interesting overall effect."

Wow. Let's try the famous Trek line:

Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its 5 year mission, to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before.

Becomes:

"Paul border agents last. I am five years old in the world. Investigation of new life and New shop in a New Culture."

Cool

"Daystrom Institute Technical Library"

becomes

"11 Free Library."

[Lighthawk]

Some people here clearly have too much free time...



















I think a lot of free time ... Between

Alright, after putting a certain quote through it the max amount of times, I got this. A cookie to whoever can guess what the original quote was.

Marina Benjamin skreven Boxing competition, loss of blood is another option.

[Lighthawk]

USS Ben Sisko's MotherFucking Pimp-Hand

...54 translations later we get:

"Benjaminburoka children."

[Tsukiyumi]

Another album title candidate.

[Captain Seafort]

Hmm.

Out of sight, out of mind becomes...

Failure.

[shran]

try translating 104 lines of middle english. That should get the fun out of translating. I can relate, I just did. there weren
t great album titles amongst my translations though

[Griffin]

Now i've started feeding it usernames, looks like I'm not doing anything today afterall.

[Sonic Glitch]

If I were human, I believe my response would be Go to Hell

54 translations later..

"I believe in hell, the woman said."

[Lighthawk]

So it seems if you start with something that was already badly translated, you break the translator

"All your base are belong to us"

...54 translations later we get:

"A."



"Good, I can feel your anger. I am defenseless. Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete! "

...54 translations later we get:

"A wise please tshongeulreul consider all the issues and problems but also to see!"

Your father's lightsabre. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster ... an elegant weapon, for a more civilized age.

Becomes:

Well, again, Iran is the best tool. Possible support for sin ... Spiritual Warfare.

"Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force."

Becomes:

"Fear of technology to create an environment which honors the beach, at the energy"

Travelling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations you'd fly right through a star, or bounce too close to a supernova, and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?

Becomes:

"Not "normal Baby food, wheat, star of the west, you, supernova, you can get Detailed reports about the project."

Original quote: "Conformity is the hobgoblin of little minds."
After max. translations: "They do not eat to live."

A classic movie line: "I'm gonna drag him into the shallows and drown him..."
After max. translations: "I heard that the bird in literature."

[Lighthawk]

"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"

...54 translations later we get:

"Indeed, my love"

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

to boldly go where no man has gone before

becomes after 54 translations...

"It is the first time."

Wait-what?
