Go try a fun website called "Lost In Translation" which has nothing to do with the Bill Murray movie, but instead, using a common web-translation algorithm, takes any text you input, translates it into various languages and back into English, several times, getting more ridiculous with each re-translation.
So, I decided to try it with the first couple of paragraphs I wrote in this morning's post.
The site allows you to use Chinese, Japanese and Korean in addition to European languages, so I put the text through the following sequence:
English, Japanese, English, Chinese, English, Korean, English, French, English, German, English, Italian, English, Portuguese, English, Spanish and English.
The final product included the following sentence:
The measured value putrid is LaTroy Hawkins.
Yeah, that's just about right.
Now, to go out and right the ship tonight.
