this is a site that shows what happens when you use Google Translate multiple times in a row...

I did it several times but the funniest one was this entry:

"Google is a trustworthy company as long as they stay non-evil."

...10 translations later we get:

"Google respectable company, and the remaining time is not bad."

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

...54 translations later we get:

"Google, civil society and other countries with low"

Never played Telephone as a kid?

We used to do this with Babelfish to great amusement.

Want to get even funnier? Translate it into different languages several times and THEN back into English.

"Come into the bedroom, baby, and sex me up."

...25 translations later we get:

"Living room, honey more sex."

"I do the rock. What are YOU doing?!"

...54 translations later we get:

"How much is too fast."

Start: "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood"

25 translations later: "North American prairie, the number of trees was Chuck Wood, one finds"

----

Start: "How many roads must a man walk down, before you can call him a man?"

25 translations later: "In many ways she seems to say?"

---

Start: "Any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with."

25 translations later: "Anyone can be uncomfortable with the whole world is a dangerous thing, to the huge increase effectiveness of the fight, he knew, towel, of course, is not needed."

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Start: "my hovercraft is full of eels"

25 translations later: "my hovercraft is full of eels"

"Devil is bad."

...54 translations later we get:

"4 patients."

WTF?!

For patients, the Devil is bad.

Okay if you do 54 translations, that stays intact for 45 of them. Why such a surreal statement stays intact but "No, no!" becomes "A", I cannot explain.

I have a problem, not a bitch 99.

Let's see now, on 25 translation:

"Your mother is a classy lady!"
=> "His mother, wife and style!"

"I am the terror that flaps in the night!"
=> "I'm worried about the night photo!"

"I am Susan Ivanova. Commander. Daughter of Andrei and Sophie Ivanova. I am the right hand of vengeance... and the boot that's going to kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart! I am Death Incarnate... and the last living thing that you are ever going to see. God sent me."
=> "I Ivanov, Susan. Dep. John Andrew and his daughter Sophie. Revenge ... If I'm right, I understand the world, I just want to play! I love ... Shares in the past, especially to watch at home. God sent."

"I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation Kasterberous. I'm 903 years old, and I'm the man who's going to save your lives, and all six billion on the planet below. You got a problem with that?"

Original text:

"Skinner said the teachers will crack any minute."

Purple Monkey Dishwasher.

somehow with "error" it became "city"...

..I think I know a few towns that happened that way!

-"I'm laughing out loud" --25--> "More information" --25--> "Learn more" --25--> "Learn more"

-"Everyone who sees films based on novels feels free to comment on the nature and success of the adaptation involved" --25--> "All-Fi Science, naturally and protocols, including success Talk" --25--> "Finally, research and acquisition, current successes" --25--> Finally, current research, development and acquisition" --25--> "In addition, continuous research and development and decision-making" --25--> "The research and development decisions" --25--> "Doomsday D" --25--> "Area" --25--> "Area"

"hylian"---------------> ...54 translations later ------------>"Fire"

This sounds like translation party

"figmentPez"

...54 translations later we get:

"Figmentpez."


and it's only the last translation, to Yiddish and back, that screws up the capitalization.

"Science is the best tool ever devised for understanding how the world works. Science is a very human form of knowledge. We are always at the brink of the known."

...54 translations later we get:

"Read and understand the world of work. Research on emotion and everything."

"All you need is love." ---> 54 translations later: "Love is all you need."

Holy shit.

The Mex said:

"All you need is love." ---> 54 translations later: "Love is all you need."

Lies, I did it and wound up with just: "Love"

I did it and got "love you need"

I did it and got "contact"

"we all live on a blue planet named Earth"

...54 translations later we get:

"Training for all."

Ezeran said:

I did it and got "love you need"

Click to expand...

I got this as well, but the progression is fascinating. For the first 28 of the translations the phrase makes it back just fine as "All you need is love." Then Japanese switches it to "All we need is love." Latvian comes back with "The only thing we need is love." and that continues to be returned for the next 5 translations. Until Polish changes it back into "All you need is love." and it stays that way for 9 more translations. Turkish then changes it to "Love is all you need." Ukranian and Vietnamese keep it that way, but Welsh changes it to "Love you need" and Yiddish gives the same.

Interesting, the period at the end of the sentence changes the translation. Just using the straight up translator, and not the Bad Tanslator!, "All you need is love" and "All you need is love." return different results when translating from English to Turkish.

I got a tricycle for Christmas.

Pez where did you get purple monkey dishwasher from? I did an Improv game once where that was the name of the Indie movie I was in.

Frig, I wish you could set something other than 10, 25, and 54. Up until 53, it was translating "Your mother" as "father" before Welsh came along and turned it to "Fr"

It's a Simpsons reference.

"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"

Lolwut.

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:

"Good paviliun But potential and chest pain."

"Winona loved her big brown beaver"

...10 translations later we get:

"Winona beaver as his large group of"

"Winona loved her big brown beaver"

...25 translations later we get:

"The large group of Winona"

"Winona loved her big brown beaver"

...54 translations later we get:

"Oynonagurupu."

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!

"Bring me pictures. Pictures of Spider Man!"

...54 translations later we get:

"Offset editor, can send pictures?"

"I was frozen today."

...54 translations later we get:

"We are here to follow."

"Who do you work for?"

...54 translations later we get:

"Who knows?"

"It's pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a Grue."

...10 translations later we get:

"This is the night. Maybe I'll get fat."

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"

Does your name involve Carlos anywhere?

Yup. My name is Carlo, wich is the italian version of Carlos. Is that what the final characters read?

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

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"

Glorious sunset of my heart was fading...soon super karate monkey death car would park in my space. But JIMMY HAS FANCY PLANS! And pants to match.

( the translator didn't let me put all the lyrics in )
