Thread: Babelfished!

This game is simple. You all know about the Alta Vista Babelfish, right? Well, I found a fun thing to use that for. You type in some stuff in English, translate it into another language, then translate it back to English. I encourage translating through multiple languages for best effect. I'll start:
For example as for negligence 1, since the negligence of representative that has acted between the scales of that employment is wage in proj4sta'meno, perhaps is wage in other those that depend from the relation of contracting part.
Isn't that fun?
This is the only proven use of the Babelfish.

Original message: Hey, baby, can you bleed like me?

Babelfish: One went away and next to end to the content in the boy and the more far possible impact was afterwords the XI and there after outside compared?

I find that going through multiple languages before returning to English, and adding Chinese, Japanese or Korean to the mix, makes for some truly outrageous, ahem, 'translations'.

English->Japanese->English:
Human everyone the freedom which is born with dignity and right and is equal. They favor to the reason and conscience, in mind of same trade union mutual functioning should do.

English->French->Greek->English:

All humains ktres are free and equal supported in in the dignity and right. They are financed the cause and the conscience and it will be supposed they act to mj other in a spirit of brotherhood.

I bet you can guess the original message of this one: And after this Brutus? Autumn and, Ceaser.

Another one -

Original message: Float like a butterfly, sing like a bee.
Babelfished: this Vlotter box of the place connects risoluta of the butterfly he, is which he does not know? ; .

LOL I think the only word that survived was butterfly.

Your source text is a bit off. You missed "of the United States" after "We the people", and there should be a comma rather than an "of" between "promote the general welfare" and "and secure the blessings of liberty", which in turn should be followed by "to ourselves and our posterity".

Well, this didn't go as hilariously as I half expected it to..
The Team Rocket motto, in English>German>English.

(I don't think I really need to post the English..)
Prepare for trouble! Form it doubly! In order to protect the world against devastation too combine you all peoples within our nation quit the evils of the truth and the love by our range to the stars over Jessie to extend! James! Crew rocket, bang away with the speed of light! Hand over or prepare you now before itself to fight! Meowth, dats correct!

In continuing with Nekusagi-chan's post ^^; :

From Chinese:

The protection world exempts devastation. Unites all people in ours country. Condemned the truth and loves the evil. Expands above our at arm's length distance to the star. Jessie! James! The team rocket team explodes by speed of light! Now surrenders or prepares to fight! Is good Meowth!

From Japanese:

In order to protect the world from devastation. In order to connect people everyone inside our nations. In order open to criticize the badness of truth and love. In order on to expand our ranges in the star. Jessie! ジェームス! The team rocket applies blast with luminous flux! Now hand, or prepare the fact that it fights! Meowth which is the right!

From Korean:

It protected the world from the devastation to respect. It combined all people inside our nation to respect. It criticized the evil of truth and love to respect. On up of our scope it expanded in the star to respect. Jessie! James! The team rocket falls to a beam and it demolishes! Prepare the fact that 1 surrender it fights now! The right side Meowth!

The Korean one is my favorite because it's so hilarious how it puts "respect" in there after everything! XD Poor TR falling to a beam and demolishing... Most languages seem to translate "blasting off" as distruction.

Through all the languages:

The emission of La Paz of the protection is destroyed! Inside totally of personage of our earth! You, he are which, that is retsenzirovan, crazy he they who they are demonstrated concerning the truth of the continuation, that to us load 8 of this time ASTRE she begins previous! Jessy! Thu of the rocket of the remuneration that the remuneration for the speed blows to the method! You campaign and the personage where the wealth is the good silence that reaches or she exceeds the preparation, he gives, opens itself him, good Meowth!

I love this game.

Wow.... Profound, in some odd way. I'm pretty positive you could publish that in some magazines as poetry and receive international acclaim (were it not for the fact that you would be breaking every copyright law into about a million pieces)

Pie, you are having fun with this, I can tell. And now, to translate one of my shorter fics.

"Hey, Nick, see that blonde chick? Isn't she the new girl?"
As the new recruit walked down the halls to the lounge, she tried to ignore the chatter around her.
"Think so."
She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Don't these guys have anything better to do with their time?
"Gal's pretty hot. Think I've got a chance with her?"
The girl had been a Rocket for a week now. She expected to get this crap the first few days, but figured it would let up by now.
"Don't see why not, man. Why don't ya ask her?
Puh-leeze. Like a loser like you has any likelihood with me. She really could not believe these idiots.
"Dude, I dunno, isn't she like, a ninja or something?"
A ninja? She flicked her bangs out of her face. What were these dorks thinking?
"Just do it. Nothing can happen until you try, right?"
"I suppose you're right. Wish me luck."
"No prob, Jake."
Jake closed his eyes as he approached his love interest. He knew how to mack on ladies. At least that was the popular consensus among his unit.
He laid a hand on the girl's shoulder.
"Hey hon, how about I take you out for pizza tonight?"
Without missing a beat or turning around, she reached for his arm. Before Jake knew what hit him, he was on the floor.
"You two don't look too bright," she said to a startled Jake and his equally shocked companion, "so I'll put this to you two in the simplest way possible."
She shot them a smile, as Jake started getting to his feet.
"First rule of hitting on the new girl is, don't hit on the new girl."
She smirked, as the two stood there, trying to act innocent.
"Got that? Or do I have to go any deeper?"
They nodded, hoping inside that she wouldn't hurt them any further.
"Good." She shot one final, threatening glance their way.
"And just so you know, my name's not Hon, it's Domino."
With that, she continued on.

English>Japanese

"Just a little, does Nick look at the chick of that blonde? As for her who is not the girl it is new? That "the new recruit to the lounge walked under the hole, simultaneously, she tried the fact that chat is ignored around her. "So think. "As for her it was not possible to believe those which she has heard. Nothing they making time in these people is better? "Hot considerably gallon. Me her chance? Thinks of the fact that "it has the girl is directly 1 weekly rocket now. She expected that 1st you obtain in this junk of several days, but that already allot this time when it is calculated. "Why it is not, the person you do not have to see. Why you don't ask ya to her? Puh-leeze. Like the loser like you it has my possibility. As for her it was not possible really to believe these fools. "The man, I dunno, her who is not you like, ninja or something? "Ninja? She struck her hard blow from her surface. Did these dorks think of what? "Do that exactly. Until you try, necessarily cannot happen, the right? "" I suppose correct thing. Desire in me luck. "" Prob it is not, Jake. "Jake that he got near to that love interest, closed that eye simultaneously. He how had known in mack of the woman. At least, as for that it was the agreement to which the inside of that unit spreads. He put the hand on the shoulder of the girl. "Approximately me because of pizza? "How tonight you take, it lets escape just a little hon sound whether, or without turning, she reached because of that arm. Those which hit to him before Jake has known, he was on the floor. "You do not see brightly in a little more than 2," she reached to Jake which is surprised and the friend who can give that impact equally said, "therefore me with the possible simplest method of putting in you this 2. Because "she Jake profit began in that feet, smile you shot those. First rule of collision of the girl "it is new it is not the girl it is new, it does not hit.

"Those the thing nod which does not damage those because she promotes, desire inside. "It is good. "She final one method shot the glance which threatens. The domino where is the that of Hon which "so you know exactly, does not have my name. "Then, she continued.

I've seen that one. They got a few parts wrong (the one I remember in particular was the omission of "of the United States"). I memorized it a bit more recently, for a civics class in high school.


And, to remain on topic, English -> Chinese -> English:
I saw that. They obtained several components to be wrong (that I to remember specially are omit "American"). I have recently remembered it, for citizen group in high school.
