Don't know whether this has ever been mentioned on here before, but there's a website ( http://www.conveythis.com/translation.php ) that basically takes what you type in and translates it up to 54 times, as it goes from language to language translating it back to English in between each one, some of the results are fun.

For example:
Original text:

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them."

...54 translations later we get:

"Age: years nekritizujte boring Sunday afternoon to remember."

And another one:
Original text:

"Oh my god, did I just kill a gay clown?"

...54 translations later we get:

"5 people dead or ilteoir interesting!"

Now, the first is from a poem('For the Fallen' by Laurence Binyon), the second is from YGOTAS.

All I'm after is for people on this to have some fun with the website and see what it comes up with, oh, and please share it if it's any good. :p

Interesting.

"There ain't no pot of gold - just copper tokens."
(Someone tell me the song and you win an ECookie)

Result:

"Savyenojumyem Immunity. The lemon is available from the United Nations system"

Edit: OH SNAP!

Original: (News post title)
"BioWare's philosophy on MMORPG development has been formed by the lack of purpose in the titles on the market today."

Result:
"Not because BioWare market ideas for creating a media project."

Touché.

I wrote;
"I shot the sheriff behind the school and buried the body."

It became;
"Wait for Improving schools police chief"

...*cough* When I confess I'll be using that thing.

Original phrase: You promised me a pony with missiles.

54 translations later: Though weapons.

Another one
Original phrase: Let us make sweet hatred together.
54 translations later: I love you.

And for a while I thought it was just going to say hate the whole way across.

And one more
Original phrase: You have been crushed by the ban hammer.
54 translations later: Hammer ugly woman.

The first translation back to English said, "You crushed the ban hammer."

That's impossible!

May possibly be more
Original phrase: The sock ruse was a distraction.
54 translations later: Do you have anything on rheumatoid arthritis?

Cheat. You can google your own cookie.

EDIT: I'm addicted to this. It's got an epic sense of irony.

An eye for an eye and we shall all soon be blind."

...54 translations later we get:

"Hopefully in the near future."

- "You magnificent son of a *****!"

54 translations later:

- "Nothing better!"



Basically the translator thinks I should just skip the flattery and kiss ass...

"Where are my Waffles? You said there would be Waffles! I want my Waffles! Where are my Waffles?

You give me my Waffles!"


After max translations, it becomes

"I want to talk about this opportunity, I love it! Cookies and Cakes?"

Huh, seems I moved on from Waffles.

Problem is it's linked to the Google Translator, and that has a calculator built in. So it worked it out instead of translating it.

It is important that people want to fight with bears.

From "This translator is very bad and should feel ashamed of itself."

To "A good translation, I think."

I think the translator just felt offended.
