This hasn’t been done for a while (Last time I did it was with altavista babelfish years ago. It was a big hit)

(Yours might redirect to your respective country’s google)

Take a recent thing you’ve written (such as an SDMB post) paste it into the ‘original text’ box on the above link. Translate it from English into some other language.

Then copy the translated text into the original text field, and translate it back the English.

Then post here for our amusement.

Rules: Make it something wordy/long. If using an SDMB post Please use a recent one so as to avoid the search function
Here is my contribution, translated to Arabic and back.

***Do you really mundane things sometimes Fascinate you? **

One of the things that gave me a warm feeling foggy “This is not cool” is the concept of ownership … How we hold him dearly as a community … With everything necessary to change the ownership thing is the will of the owner to give to another person.

May seem obvious. We believe that ownership of an object is large abstract property of this product. It is important to him Malik. We respond strongly object to being taken without the consent of the owner. Whole community laws exist because they …

After … Anyone can change this from a legal status fundemental abstract object, simply by giving it to another person. Once delivery is physically and says: “Here, this”
Name things that … We usually take for granted … But sometimes Fascinate you if you happen to think of them right in thinking.*
Odd how ‘This is cool’ converts to ‘This is not cool’ when translated to and from Arabic.

Thought this would be fun with my Bulwer Bad Sentence winner. I have sorted these from least accurate to most accurate IMO. I would have thought French or Spanish would be truest, but IMO the original came through clearest in Portuguese.

Original:
Gerald began–but was interrupted by a piercing whistle which cost him ten percent of his hearing permanently, as it did everyone else in a ten-mile radius of the eruption, not that it mattered much because for them “permanently” meant the next ten minutes or so until buried by searing lava or suffocated by choking ash–to pee.

Translated to and back from Korean:
Gerald started - but this has been interrupted by the shrill whistle cost him 10 percent of his hearing permanently, others like 10 - mile radius of the rash is not mattered much about it because they are a “permanent” means the following men If buried for about 10 minutes until the clippings from suffocation or strangulation by lava ash - urine.

Translated to and back from Arabic:

Translated to and back from Chinese:
Gerald started - but was interrupted by the piercing siren to lose 10 percent of his hearing permanently, because it no other people in a 1 0-mile radius of the outbreak, and it is not the most important, because they “permanent” means that the next 10 minutes, until a searing lava buried or suffocated by Gengsai ash - scientists.

Translated to and back from Russian:

Translated to and back from German:
Gerald began - but was interrupted by a piercing whistle cost to him ten percent of his hearing, so, as any other in a radius of ten miles from the outbreak is not that much more important, because they are “permanently” meant the next ten minutes or so, until searing lava buried or suffocated by suffocating ash - to pee.

Translated to and back from Dutch:
Gerald began - but was interrupted by a piercing whistle that cost him ten percent of his hearing permanently, as everyone in a radius of ten kilometers from the eruption, not that much interest, because for them “permanent” meant the next ten minutes or something to bury by searing lava or suffocated by suffocation as - pass urine.

Translated to and back from Italian:
Gerald began - but was interrupted by a piercing whistle, which cost him ten percent of his hearing permanently, as did all others within ten miles of eruption, which did not matter much, because for them “permanence” meant the next ten minutes or until they are buried by lava: suffocation or suffocated by the ash - pee.

Translated to and back from Spanish:
Gerald began - but was interrupted by a piercing whistle that cost him ten percent of his hearing permanently, as did everyone else within a radius of ten miles from the eruption, which did not matter much because for them “permanently” mean the next ten minutes or until the end of the search for buried by lava or asphyxiation by smothering ash - to pee.

From Chinese to english

From This post:

I do not have children, but if I have to made, I guess, I only insist on the neat and clean. My mother and the child who is a bit on the anal side of the clothes and hair, always offensive. I just want to tell them that if we look at bad on them. For example, I see good in all Categories cut, or really long hair. Everything between these two looks terrible to me. Seriously, it makes my head look too big, it is too dorky. Where Mom insisted on retaining it until high school? Do you think of conservative. I look like a freakin 'light bulbs. As of the 28th, she badger me for my choice, I wear my hair and beard.

Wait even better:

From Japanese back to English:

I do not have children, if I were to spawning, and I imagine I will insist just neat. Mom grew up with us a little bit about the side of the anus, clothing and haircuts, you can always belly. I have to see what they have only語れbad. For example, I look good BAZUKATTO all over again, or really long hair. Frightening appearance, during which all the other on me. Seriously, it is too big for my head and I think, this is too useless. Where the mother to maintain a claim to be a high school? You can imagine the conservative middle. I like freakin 'light bulb. She is still 28 badgers me about my choice and how I cut my hair to wear a beard.

I looker as though a mind-boggling light bulb. RIVER 28 she YET badger myself crazy about my selectivity with haircut and how I be into my beard.

**I wish I’d said this in the OP: But maybe this can be used as a game…

take something well known (a script, a speech, a well known statement) translate it five times (english-german-english-french-english) and then we have to guess what it was.**

Boyo Jim’s sentence from Icelandic to English:

Do began while var disturb accustom a biting whistle who cost he ten percent with his hearing permanently , as though there did everyone otherwise into a ten mile radius with the volcanic eruption , not ;l) there matter vast accordingly pay lip service to then " permanently " meantime the next ten minute or thus till interment accustom biting lava or suffocate accustom suffocate ash to piss.

Yours is a more amusing translator. :stuck_out_tongue:

Here is my sentence to and from Polish:
Geranium begun short of was singled with z something of sticking whistle who cost thereof ten per cent thereof hearing aid duration , as she did respective unlike on something of ten mile promissory note ex this breaks , not that she significant much whereas for them " duration " branded this next ten minutes something like until sepulchred with z searing lava or suffocated with z suffocative ash-can vis-a-vis pee.

And Norwegian:
Gerald began but stayed interrupted by an pervasive whistle to which cost her ten per cent at his hearing permanent , as a matter of fact did any else in a ten mile radiance at eruption , no matter facts it matter a good many as a matter of for her permanent " deemed next day ten minutes or so at buried at apply lavatory or choke at choking ash to pee.

I’m impressed by the creativity of traditional Chinese. The following garbage comes from this discussion about English football attendances. While much of it is of the typical quality found in football forums, Goodison Park somehow becomes ‘Dayton’, while Wigan variously become ‘Granville Root’ and ‘Viagra’. Wow.

I got foiled with this choice of text, however, which despite getting put through every language available (some more than once) is still easily identifiable. But with some nice turns of phrase, mostly provided by the Koreans:
