Bored? Let's play with translations!!

Translations gone horribly wrong...
Ever heard of Translation Party? Or how about Lost in Translation?
They have very simple concepts, but are surprisingly fun.
Basically you give them an English phrase and they'll translate it back and forth through some other languages, directly and literally, and come up with some unexpected results.
Lost in Translation translates from and to 10 different languages, back and forth. Translation Party translates a phrase from English to Japanese until an equilibrium is found, or when it stops changing words.
{Phrases can loop and not equal out. Boots found one that just added "Please." on the front, and ended up with "Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please....." at the end.}

They're a great way to kill time. Here's some examples:
Lost in Translation:

I'm a little tea pot, short and stout.
translates into
They are a small POTENTIOMETER, short circuits and a beer of malzes of the tea.

a cookie is just a cookie, but fig newtons are fruit and cake.
translates into
biskuit has expert of biskuit, but Newton von Fig is fruit and hardens.

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore.
translates into
If the moon fixes its eye like a great vector of Fleischpie of the vector of Pizzapie, is the lover.


Translation party is a bit different:
Donkeys kill more people than terrorists.
translates into
Donkeys are more than terrorists who kill people.

Black holes are where God divided by zero.
translates into {Warning, shocking revelation}
God is the black hole divided by zero.

Suing a law firm might be like trying to rob a gun store with a knife.
translates into
Please. Knife law firm is likely to contain a gun to rob the accused.


So, I'm sure you'll have tons of fun. We did. :D
{And lost several hours in the process}
Gives you more respect for human translators, and less trust in machine ones, eh?

On a side note, look at what happens if you give MG an incorrect link...

Lowell, what makes you think these little gimmicks are actually interesting enough to sate anyone's boredom? Oh, you can enter text and it'll come out all weird thanks to a translation algorithm that's known to give shitty results. Wow, this is comedy genius. Bring something decidedly more fucked up to the table and then we can start talking.

Of course you like it since it satisfies your easily entertained little brain's desire for entertainment; my point is that you titled this thread wrong since I doubt anyone, even you, would blow off more than five or ten minutes on it in one go because it's "fun." That is, if they spent any time on it at all.

Well, I'll have to inform you that your theory is wrong.
DragonBoots alone spent like 3 hours with Translation Party, translating all sorts of random phrases. Khan showed me Lost in Translation and spent hours with it.
I learned of these sites through them.
I'm sure other people are using these right now, instead of being an asshole no one likes, in some random thread. :D
Go be a troll somewhere else, or are you trying to get yourself banned?

How wonderful. While I'll admit I was very likely wrong in my previous assertion, it's nothing to be proud of to say you spent "like 3 hours" or some such "translating random phrases."

Sheesh

Lighten up and have a little fun.
Keep acting like this and you'll never make any friends, sheesh.
And I believe you're going off-topic.
You'll end up banned at this rate >.>;

Or, as Translation Party says!
Bright and have a little fun. These symptoms, any friend, sheesh not been maintained. And I think about topics that are running. At this rate, to prohibit access to and exit

Finally! I've been waiting for that to happen. It's about time, too.

Ontopic: I've had experience with translators. O.o

Man, some of that stuff made no sense at all.

Still, it is ridiculously funny.

Input: I am a very horny boy I like to have sex with all the lovely ladies.

Output: I'm horny, I have sex with a boy in front of a beautiful woman.

Protips: Run-on sentences, sentence fragments, bad punctuation and typos/intentional mispellings = HI-LARIOUS partays.
