| A much needed break | Jul 25, 2010 |
Well, I bumped into this thread and I had to try this myself!
I needed a break and wanted to be kind and polite...
My question:
"Would you please come here, honey?"
...56 translations later we get:
"Try."
No one would dare!!!

After 50 translations:
"I hate translating" becomes "I don't know how to change".
"I want to win the lottery" becomes simply "I".

ME: Many of us would wish this for themselves.
FT (40 iterations after): Both of us
ME: Damn!

Funny Translator is a true visionary.
"Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything" after 56 translations gives: "The problem is that the world will not help."
The Welsh seem to be rather pessimistic:

WELSH : Y broblem yw y bydd y byd yn helpu.

Well... :]

| Funny Translator moved | Jun 12, 2011 |
page refresh for visitors in 2011 - the Funny Translator page now seems to be down, but there is http://www.cheatingtranslators.com/bad-translator - similar approach, although made by other people or person now.
Anyway - if you wish to play a bit, there's still a page where you can do it

| It seems rather defensive... | Jun 13, 2011 |
"Machine translation is terrible"
translates to
"It is hard to prove"
| | |
|
|
|
| On the other hand... | Jun 13, 2011 |
...sometimes it can be wise.
"I like to ride motorbikes"
becomes
"My motto"
which is fair enough

They can try to convert, however life is life, there -will- be a typo earlier or later, changing it to "cover" and the exact 24 translations later will be just beautiful :]
re "thanks for sharing": this is extremely, extremely annoying since this would mean that some companies out there did still not get that sharing during translation to one certain language changes to a word that during backtranslation changes to "thanks for sending".
I hope there will be a typo ealier or later, changing it to "thanks for sanding" so that exactly 27 of those 56 translations later we will read a response written by a happy
