So I was fooling around with Lost in Translation, a Babelfish thingy, and I got four pieces of weird Babelfishion from four OOTS lines. Can you work out what these used to be?

'It is not nale Nale E. He is nale of nale NOT of the nail of the aid of thog. Nale of AND NOT of the nail of nale of the connection NOT of nale between thog. It is not nale of nale and it is nale NOT of nale in the halting, now NOT nale [neiringu'

'I God do not activate of the low shoes of the attention of the sex of the war!'

'Task, of that is! If its love thinks to me, its mine is covered!' (This one scared me a bit...)

'On the level exit with and of the energy it has more personnel 2 in the space in the impossible material, of which the disturbance thinks it. That there were agravated to the team of employees is not involuntary equal during the credit that a certain thing has, the general track, to watch ignited it, in sequence appreciates. All, until they do not arrive with that one balance, extract the other qualities, that are hidden by the material. Of 2 the personal general track is simultaneous its possible one is ognuna like, if, with them they were totally erroneous always. This respective argument does not stop, of that one for totally the situation in the wall of the romantic one of useless fire-bricks.' (Only for the brave!)

First person to get all 4 wins an Internet.

1. Thog's Nale nailed not-Nale thing in prison, which I can't be bothered to go look for.

2. I am a sexy shoeless god of war.

No idea about the other two...

The last one is V's theory of love.

The third one went the weirdest, so it's gonna be hard.

Yes, you've got the three you've guessed right.

Did Elan say it?

I think "task" may be a (mis)translation of "quest".

I don't suppose it's the 'Love is an epic level challenge' line, is it?

Here are a couple more:
1. Its moment came and disappeared, cereal of the impulse! The proprietor of the esteem of the today in the day, the end to feed the price… like the cake on the tip!
2. They are the times of a past of youth inside, that one that alcangue, good Magier with more authority, experience and the emotional maturity to beat also regularly.

The first one is where V takes the roll of Belkar's Advocate.

The last one if from the very first comic when they update to version 3.5

Second last one is when Roy's Dad visit's him in the Dungeon of Doroukan and asked if there were any priest5s were you lived.

boots of speed Man if I'm right that's the evilest translation ever.

boots of speed Man if I'm right that's the evilest translation ever.

That seems to be correct. It's almost exactly the phrase I got when I tried translating the lime green boots line to babelfish.

Incidentally, it seems that Chinese and Japanese are the languages that REALLY screw the translations over. Without them, the phrases still remain halfway recognisable. With luck. XD

A few other ones:
1. It does not know that the method in the left blood absorbs the thief of the rotation unit that it processes with this 1. (REALLY freaky O.O)

2. Positionings in my position of the client, I that has consulted immediately, the end to make the configuration of the retirement of the agreement of the use, happy!

The second one is Celia renegotiating Haley's situation with the Thieves Guild.

Sooo... has everyone pretty much given up on my third one?

If so, I'll tell you. And your guess about Elan is not far off. If you think about Elan and Nale, and battling, then think of a particular battle, then think of a line said in that battle. It is NOT obscure.

That makes things considerably easier. It's Haley's love confession. :smalleek: Good gods, I never thought a sentence could be mangled that badly... O.O

Lord Xavius- I think your third one is Elan, but I can't tell where. Is it something with "inspiring competence"?

It is Haley's love confession. -hands you an Internet- And you're not the only one scared by that mangling. It's the most messed-up Babelfishion I've ever seen.

I'm honoured, but you made it real easy with that clue, so no Internet for me. XD


It's the most messed-up Babelfishion I've ever seen.

As for messed up Babelfish translations... Try the one I posted earlier in this thread. O.O I daresay it's even freakier than yours.

It does not know that the method in the left blood absorbs the thief of the rotation unit that it processes with this 1.
