Bad Translator

Postby MattAn » 15 Apr 2010, 04:57

This.. Is brilliant. Friend of mine showed me this thing, hilarity ensued.

http://www.conveythis.com/translation.php

For example;

Original text: "Loading Ready Run, the sketch comedy troupe that make no apologies. Sorry."
...54 translations later we get: "Drawing Cartoons download and install injury"

Original: "I knew I loved you before I met you." (from a Savage Garden song)
54 translations later: "I know that you can notice first."

Erm... ok?

Original: "This is my puffin. He will eat you if you are not careful."
54 translations later: "This is what I expected."

That one is better!
Ok... last one...

Original: "I am afraid that if I use this for too long, I will go crazy."
54 translations later: "I am older, I think I am crazy."

HA!

This .. This is good. They are very interesting, my friend.

that, what you said.

After 25 translations, the most famous of Shakespeare's sound-bites, 'To be or not to be, that is the question', is reduced to 'This is a problem.'

'A horse, A horse, my kingdom for a horse.' becomes 'Horse, horse, my kingdom'

Well, IIRC, Kathleen still does "Korea" doesn't she? And Graham got on US network prime-time TV with his nun-chuck 'accident'...

...maybe Bad Translator knows more than it lets on? ;)

But here's a simple 10 translations from old 'test-your-typewriter' saying:
"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs."

bad translator wrote:AFRIKAANS : Die vinnige bruin jakkals het oor die luiperd honde.
Back to ENGLISH : The quick brown fox did the leopard dogs.
ALBANIAN : Dhelpra shpejtë kafe ka qen leopardi.
Back to ENGLISH : Quick brown fox was a leopard.
ARABIC : وكان الثعلب البني السريع نمر.
Back to ENGLISH : The quick brown fox tiger.
BELARUSIAN : Хуткі карычневы тыгр лісіца.
Back to ENGLISH : Quick brown fox tiger.
BULGARIAN : Бързо кафяв тигър лисица.
Back to ENGLISH : Quick brown fox tiger.
CATALAN : Ràpida tigre guineu marró.
Back to ENGLISH : Quick brown fox tiger.
CHINESE : 快速褐色狐狸老虎。
Back to ENGLISH : Quick brown fox tiger.
CHINESE_SIMPLIFIED : 快速褐色狐狸老虎。
Back to ENGLISH : Quick brown fox tiger.
CHINESE_TRADITIONAL : 快速褐色狐狸老虎。
Back to ENGLISH : Quick brown fox tiger.
CROATIAN : Skokovima preko tigar.
Back to ENGLISH : Jumps over the tiger.


I like how it LOST the verb pretty early on, then somehow gained it back in the last translation. :D

ADDENDUM: ran the same for 25 translations and after about six more from the above it became "Tiger Direct." and stayed with that ever after. Image

Lyinginbedmon stole my post count position.
max
Leynginbedmon time.

Elomin Sha versus Lyinginbedmon in a steel cage match to the death. = Leynginbedmon Elamin. Travel and died in the first game.

Warriors of darkness = Dark Side of War

Cardboard Man = Human Bone

Is somebody doing science in here? = Some members?

Slacking for Gold = Peresh

2010 Canadian Slacking Team = Portugal, in 2010
HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?

Loading Ready Run. Like porn only better. = He said lakini daunrododoraiba Sunday
(Came up with during it with only sex, only best and Download the driver is ready)

Loading Ready Run. Comedy that makes no apologies. Sorry. = Daunrododoraiba. Well, sorry not interested.

Comedy. Serious Business = Problem is, it is very interesting
I like that personally as a new slogan if you combine the two.

Shredder had his cameras,
Shredder had his cameras,
In the city, in the city.
You think that's bad?
You think that's bad?
Well I've seen Skeletor's dick! =

Redusing children's unit. I believe it. But in the first picture!

One of the lines produced was Cameras reduce Urban Children. Do you think that this is true? However, the waste that first photo!

See the bone invading your nightmares,
Suck your soul with its one-eyed stare.
Feel the evil that penetrates you,
Skeletor's dick will always rape you.
=
The credit crunch waste Valve. I think I feel worse, the bones and associated violence.

I'm sure a video could be made out of the use of this translator somehow.

Three PS3s, as directed by Tarantino-

"Imagine you have one cake, and I have three cakes. This is like that. Except you have no cakes, while I have three PS3s. Also, I have this cake."

...10 translations later we get:

"Imagine a pie, but I have three cakes. This is true. In addition to shortages of bread, I have three PS3's. In addition, their piece of cake."

Interestingly, after 25 translations we get "Imagine that back, but there are three lines. It's true. Also bread, I have three PS3. Simplicity."
Sounds like the title of Muse's next song

I'm sorry everyone, but I think I just won this game:


Original text:

"To be or not to be– that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And, by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep No more"

...54 translations later we get:

"You may need to increase military death vision."


Oh, and here's another great one:

Original text:

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. "

...54 translations later we get:

"Violence is good."

let's see if porcupine tree can withstand the slaughter.

"I was born in 67, the year of 'Sargent Pepper' and 'Are you Experienced?'"

goes to...

"Sajentopepazu 1967: "I was born?"

that's not even English. It picked up a random work from Japanese.

now let's try

"Give me radioactive Toy, give me the freedom to destroy"

goes to...

"Hazardous work, I can play for free."

right.
