It Loses Something In The Translation...

I swear I got "love is all you need" back, I should have taken a screencap. Now I get slight variations each time, but I see the "love is all you need" results buried between the different jumps... I guess the order is random and to get back that phrase you need those to come at the end?

It was awesome when it happened, though.

I don't think people will believe me on this one, so I got a screenshot:

Wanna see something weird?

"Four score and seven years ago"

...54 translations later we get:

"4 27."

However...

"Fourscore and seven years ago"

...54 translations later we get:

"87."

Four score and seven years is 87 years. By using "fourscore" as one word, the translator immediately recognizes that it's 87 years ago. Then somewhere along the line the "years" disappears (Russian back to English, it appears).

Also, as a professional translator and interpreter, I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

I don't think I've laughed at anything so hard lately, as the responses from this thread and the bad translator! :D

My real name, 25 translations later becomes "Church Vallcorba 卡洛斯加卢"

(This is the only version of my name or my brother and sister's name that doesn't fully become some asian characters I can't read...)

Edit:

A sentence from my Godzilla poster:

"Civilization crumbles as it's death rays blast a city of 8 million from the face of the earth" ---25--> "Fall of the culture of death, as more and more affluent urban air 800 million" ---25--> "Culture of death is lower in urban areas are richer in air 800 000 000" ---25--> "Culture, environment, rich in the city killed 800 000 000" ---25--> "Moore, culture, environment rich city 800 000 000" ---25--> "Moore, culture, environment rich city 800 000 000"

A sentence from my coca-cola poster:

"Ice Cold Coca-Cola sold here" --25--> "Coca-Cola sells ice" --25--> "Selling Coca-Cola Ice" --25--> "Selling Coca-Cola Ice"

The first three characters are the usual transliteration for the western name Carlos. The last two characters are also apparently a transliterated version of a name, but I can't recognize them as easily. Could be anything like Chalou, or Galou, or something along those lines.

That's probably the beginning of my surname. It's actually cool to see those weird scribbles actually mean something :p

Anyways, still translating sentences from my posters:

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away --25--> "Soon, a distant galaxy" --25--> "Instead of going to the Galaxy" --25--> "Galaxy" --25--> "Galaxy"

The thoroughbred of sin
He got the application
You just sent in

It needs evaluation
So let the games begin
A heinous crime, a show of force
(A murder would be nice, of course)"


54 Translations later: "In this case, state law schools and other government Agencies. (Game ago, died on the way, if!)."

Start: "Who is on first, what is on second, I don't know is on third."

54 Translations later: "I do not know why."
