There was this funny site called 'translation party' where you could enter an english sentence and it would translate it to japanese, back to english, to japanese, back to English, etc. until it didn't change anymore. You could get some pretty weird results.

The site appears to be down now though.

"I want to translate this sentence." translates as "You can change."

Thank you bad translation website. Those kind words were all I needed. I will change! I will change for the better!

So, I tried to thank it with "Thank you bad translation website." and this is what I get: "News"

[censored] you bad translation website! [censored] you! You don't have to be such an ass all of the time! :swear:

My sig:

Original text:

"That was epic. I'm telling you, turns-the-page is the half-spawn of an eldritch monstrosity from beyond time and space. He can invert the colors on his avatar and just go thin... the man has powers."

...54 translations later we get:

"Half page Rafi, can protect the lake rakshastal'.... God."

That can't be right

I think that happens when you start translating while you're translating something else already.

I got this with that same sentence

"Sin City (required) ever! Everything! Vvebsite well, thank you for Weapons. To send the poor"

Yeah indeed, I got that too the second time

I thought something was wrong so I ran it another time.

"I think therefore I am" after 54 translations is "I dare say.

"Cogito ergo sum" becomes "I believe that bank."

Makes sense to me.
