    Bored, I decided to try the old google translate fun: Translate from English into Japanese, then to French, then into Russian and back to English.

    Here we go:
    and here's the result:
    ;)

    Just tried that one 8.

    Taking

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."

    (250 character limit!)

    We get:

    "He lost by a large margin."

    Slightly different there! :D

    Via Bad Translator, the Aerosmith lyrics -

    "Rag doll, living in a movie
    Hot tramp, daddy's little cutie"

    become

    "Rags, the father of all the small population of sexy video"

    "Eat me" = "International space station"

    "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." = "Of course I would like to."

    "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse." = "I am tender and not prohibited."

    I generally use the Translators for cheap laughs when bored or such.
    Google translate or one of them Engrish sites!

    Never fails to entertain!

    It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness.

    After bad translator:

    "This is the worst and is the Middle knowledge, religion, age, height, black best time. DST International live fool International Medieval"

    :lol:

    wow

    taken verbatim from bad translator

    "Gothic is part of the Indo-European language family "

    ...50 translations later Bing and Google give us:

    "The body language ", India, Europe and the Gothic."

    and my personal favorite;


    "French is a romance language"

    ...50 translations later Bing and Google give us:

    "Yellow background"
