Lost In Translation

[Jezza]

That thing happens, if a printed question English (of the computers)
is to translate of two channels between 5 diverse languages? The
authors of the software of the translation of SYSTRAN probably never
had meant this application of the relative program. In the date of
September of 2007, it almost is to something good seriously to turn
the translation to her of the text of the software of grammaticale and
the free slang of a language the marks of the values of the approach
of grammaticale and others leggibili corrected. But software is not
equipped for the following one of 10 translations of the same part of
the text. Ordered excess for which the returns are of the sustenations
of extrangeiras of the ways and for English halves and full not he
answer he sequitur almost no similarity with the main tube of the
collection. Emfatizam old "Telephone" of the game; To the
times something is destroyed and it gains to something. Controllila!

I'm guessing (or quessing) that you didn't click on the link to visit the webpage in that case, or you would have read and understood it...then again maybe that's asking a little too much of you.

Here's what it actually does...

What happens when an English phrase is translated (by computer) back and forth between 5 different languages? The authors of the Systran translation software probably never intended this application of their program. As of September 2007, translation software is almost good enough to turn grammatically correct, slang-free text from one language into grammatically incorrect, barely readable approximations in another. But the software is not equipped for 10 consecutive translations of the same piece of text. The resulting half-English, half-foreign, and totally non sequitur response bears almost no resemblance to the original. Remember the old game of "Telephone"? Something is lost, and sometimes something is gained. Try it for yourself!

So for example if we take the phrase...

Purple Dragon always talks sense and knows how to spell correctly.

And then run it through the translator program which translates that phrase into a foreign language then back to English 5 times, you end up with this...

In order to fly the red one of deers of crimsons of the arguments it
always creates and of ortografare of the tin correctly.

And it arrived at that by means of the following sets of translations...

Original English Text:
Purple Dragon always talks sense and knows how to spell correctly.

Translated to French:
Les entretiens pourpres de dragon toujours sentent et savent
orthographier correctement.

Translated back to English:
The talks crimsons of dragon always feel and can spell correctly.

Translated to German:
Die Gespräche crimsons des Drachen immer glauben und können richtig
buchstabieren.

Translated back to English:
The discussions crimsons kites always believe and can spell correctly.

Translated to Italian:
I cervi volanti dei crimsons di discussioni sempre credono e possono
ortografare correttamente.

Translated back to English:
The red deers flying of the crimsons of arguments always believe and
can ortografare correctly.

Translated to Portuguese:
Voar vermelho dos deers dos crimsons dos argumentos acredita sempre e
do ortografare da lata corretamente.

Translated back to English:
To fly red of deers of crimsons of the arguments always believes and
of ortografare of the can correctly.

Translated to Spanish:
Para volar el rojo de deers de los crimsons de los argumentos cree
siempre y del ortografare de la lata correctamente.

Translated back to English:
In order to fly the red one of deers of crimsons of the arguments it
always creates and of ortografare of the tin correctly.
