Lost in translation (not the movie)

[Chas the mage]

My brother showed me this website (http://tashian.com/perl/translate-babel.cgi). It puts things into another language with seriously bad translation and then turns it back to english again, several times, so it degrades with each translation. When it comes out several translations later, it makes absolutely no sense.

this post translated to:

My video of the east brother Web site in me. This material of the installation with the serious conversion of the false, inner use of the return English and the diverse ones determines the wheels, for the second time, therefore the shutdowns of the period of diverse language, ridurrsi turned. Then, more ahead those many conversions, to go like new, given do not form solidity, they do not control.

Wow. I put in "Die in a fire, you wretched hive of scum and villainy!".

Here's what I got:
In a fire you die deficient Bienenstock of the Abschaums and the vileness.


Hmmmm. Very strange.

But the question is: Why did someone make this site? :smallconfused: It serves no purpose.

[raitalin]

Things on the internet have to serve a purpose? Someone needs to inform Livejournal and MySpace!

[Ripped Shirt Kirk]

I know what we can use this for! We can decode messages that other people say! THEY ARE ALL WATCHING US!


DON'T LET THEM ACTIVE THE CODE WORDS!



Which roughly translates to this: I know for, what we can use this! We can decode the messages, this tenth to the other people! IT IS ALL THE USA OF THE COMMENTARY!

[Trog]

I recommend that the rest of the beginning is only answered, if uses in the first lost place in the service of translation. :smallamused:

[Etcetera]

Hello translates to Wave!
Oh dear.
Hello means ¡Olá! but Olá also means wave?
Now if only there was some way to disguise it as an ordinary translator. I like the fig von Newton bit though.

[Prime32]

It translates things into Japanese and back again until the translation stops changing. Sometimes you get infinite loops.

[ColonelFuster]

"I just met my soul mate" translates into "I also found the average of the companions of the interior."

:smalleek:

This is what a robot would say....

[Etcetera]

Just put a short paragraph from a recruiting thread in.
It's still running and has changed something to reptiles:smallconfused:

[Castaras]

"The first elephant climbed through the potion bottle and then she exclaimed with agony because the sudoku was upside down. "

became

"It is if it crosses the first elephant, of that one the diverse bottle close catch ons, because the conversion is sudoku, therefore the extreme pain."

"I like pie"

became

"Gradico the field."

O.o

My brother is named Mark:

"Mark is silly." - "We marked ourselves we are stupid."

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
"The brown express of vixen of ramifies in the dog I take."

[Mauve Shirt]

The introduction of the forum rules. Kinda big.

"The equipment of employees of the Web site for GitP would appreciate that our community of the tribune in the name is Burlew sufficiently (the giant) to adapt, propietary of the places. The end to guarantee all the passages without unblocking, we requested the connection the rules of a series and ciascuna of the directional traverses of direction therefore next to announces. Lee who request with the attention and follows-lheos! It___ll is many simpler for all, if you foretell. You' in nascent you it Lee who requests with the attention. You' the fifth summers the one moment, chosen request here with the attention - some rules modified old and in all new one it had been. You observe that request that the equipment of employees of the giant in the tribune of the cuts of the reserve of the game the right to bring the modifications to the rules of the signal in agreement with the requirement without the introductory opinion. Since we found the new situations, this we updated them these rules, the end to be guaranteed that we return them we cancelled to enter available for everything, than, that he interests in this tribune which we are understanding."

[Etcetera]

I like "the tribune in the name of Burlew"

Also, who's Lee?

Woah. Just woah.

Reminds of that Iron Man parody, Irod Bad.

And Iron Man flew through the sky. And he was all like "woah", and then he was like "woah", and then he was all woah, and then he went "woah".

[TRM]

Woah. Just woah.

Reminds of that Iron Man parody, Irod Bad.

And Iron Man flew through the sky. And he was all like "woah", and then he was like "woah", and then he was all woah, and then he went "woah".
In other words,

And flown Eisenmann of the sky. And it was like " woah" and then it was like " woah" and then all the was woah and has then " GONE; woah".

Which brings us to: "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die."

Resulting in: My name is Íñigo Montoya. They had finished to the average father. It is prepared before if the same death.

The famous words of Obi-Wan Kenobi were less exciting. "That's no moon... it's a space station!" turns into:

"That' S no moon… it' S a space station!"

And then, I did a famous quote through Translation Party. See if you know the one! "Other measures to continue the war and politics."

[Etcetera]

"War is merely a continuation of politics through other means."
They have that up on the wall of my history classroom, but I still had to look it up.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

One more and then I'm done. How about this one from Translation Party: All wars have a Dodge.

You've got me there. No idea.:smallfrown:

Pero? What does that mean?
Science of the opening is a reasonable translation, but just doesn't work...

[Cobra_Ikari]

Pero = but.

This is fun. Would be good for RP-ing translating a language the person doesn't speak well. >.>

From V for Vendeta:

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me "V".

Becomes:

Voil! In sight, in a modest veteran who consists by the Vaudevillian it defines as the victim and in a gangster of inconsistantnesses of the destiny. This forehead, empty nobody, populi of the track now are a voice, lacking simply the cover for the vanity. Despite this valiant visit of the past uproar it is interrupted has the vivificato and, because sormontare this venale Vanguarding and attribution of the virulent one of violentemente begun of viceones and the infraction, from that comes from the one-disposition of the will and insaciável from the bad one! The unique declaration of the judgment is revenge; faida, of that is interrupted in vain, for the value and a truth so of a day, as the votive one, does not defend careful and honest. This natural one of Vichy of wordiness of gesprächigeres of transferences really, simply adds then for vacation this it' S my honor, of that you he you are the very good one to be and can I " of the atendimentos; V".
