I was messing around with the Thai keyboard on my iPad (a freind at work is from Thailand and she’s been teaching me a little bit about the written language) and got an interesting bot of gibberish when I pasted it into google translate, so I figured, what the heck…
Post some text from a language you do not speak or understand, bung it into google translate, and post the translation to your native tongue, see if anything interesting happens…
Like this;

Go online and find a joke, about ten lines long. Translate that into Thai, and then the Thai version into Swedish, then to Urdu, then to Japanese, then to Polish, then back to English. See if it’s still funny.
I’ve tried this and I suspect that the translator is designed to translate Thai–>Polish into English first, then English to Polish, and not directly from Thai to Polish. So this would not really be as amusing as one would expect it to be. The English versions in between would keep un-corrupting the drift.
Old apocryphal story from long before Google translate. Automated translation computer took the following in English: “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak” translated it to Russian, then back to English, and got: “the vodka is good but the meat is spoiled.”
There used to be a website that would do this all in one step. You entered the message, hit the button, and it ran the message through several languages and back to English.
An old thread Sadly, that site closed years ago, and I haven’t found a good replacement.
You used to be able to get Google Translate to beatbox by pasting some gibberish and having it say it in German, but it doesn’t seem to work anymore. It depended on a male voice to recite it, and all I get are female voices now.
