BAD Translator!

[Diego440]

I don't really know if this has been posted before, but I found it funny enough because my work is pretty slow at the moment.

BAD Translator works like this:

Machine translations are useful for getting a general idea about what text written in a foreign language means. However, "general idea" isn't exactly accurate; the translator literally translates (word for word) the text which often results in grammatically incorrect, if not completely incoherent, text. We've developed Bad Translator! to show just how funny things can get. Enter any text in English then click "Translate!" to start. The program translates the text back and forth using Google Translate, then displays the final English translation.

Example:

It translated back and forth to Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian and back to English.

Starting sentence: "I'm going to stand on that bridge and keep my arms down below" (I was listening to Peter Gabriel and put in the lyrics to a song)
Final sentence: "I will remain in Government House in the hands of"

Starting sentence: "I'm not special like you"
Final sentence: "Dislikes"

Time waster extreme, but fun nonetheless

This is ace, I used to do this manually back in high school.

"Family game night is especially fun when we play hungry hungry hippos with a bottle of wine."

becomes

"Family fun game, especially if the night hungry monster, played by alcohol."

 

[Cap'n Jack]

This is exactly what I've been looking for.

 

[chepu]

Pretty cool.

Heres an example for you

Initial Phrase in spanish: Entre, Entre y tome una silla.

In english it would be. come in, come in and have a chair.

What about this one. Between, Between and Drink a Chair.

Now translate that into spanish...

Edit: I Wrote Come in and Have a chair and this is what I got: "This will include"

 

[Apok]

I wrote successful troll is successful

after 25 translations I got

Troll Support


Lol wut?

 

[Steele_obsidion]

"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."

I was listening to MC frontalot so the chorus came up..

"do you do you really believe we were nothing but the monkeys swinging up in the trees, don't it seem a little likelier that Adam and Eve did a lot of humping and that was the origin of the species"
=
Do you think it is in the trees, swaying a bit like Adam and Eve saw the introduction of any exemptions humanity

We say "take/have a seat", not "have a chair".

 

[Diego440]

We say "take/have a seat", not "have a chair".

It's a common Venezuelan play on ignorants who just translate words:

Entre = Between or Come in
Tome = Drink or Take

Tome = Drink or Take

Yeah I know, but even saying Have a chair sounds a bit odd to my english.

My first attempt didn't come out so bad:

Original text:
"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country."
...10 translations later we get:
"Now is the time for all good men to save their country."
Not bad at all.

Original text:
"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country."
...25 translations later we get:
"Time for all good men will save the country."
Not great, but somewhat in line with original text.

Original text:
"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country."
...54 translations later we get:
"After nearly good one now." Things have really gone haywire here.

...54 translations later we get:

"In childhood, blood, knee and will be better."


How very philosophical!

 

[boiltheocean]

Haha this is such a good timewaster.

"I've never sold a cookie to more than three people at a time."

"Long cat is Long"

54 Translations later we get:

"Excellent Colour"

EDIT: Gonna put in the disclamer of the BAD Translator! site... hopefully this'll be interesting

"DISCLAIMER: This translation tool is powered Google Translate. ConveyThis is not affiliated with Google. We do not mean to imply in any way that Google Translate is bad, we are just pointing out the inherent flaws in all current machine translators."

54 Translations later...

"Note: All data will be Transferred directly to Google Google konveithis eunhaji Google translation software tool."

I think 'konveithis' my mean 'ConveyThis' (makers of the site) and I got no idea for eunhaji... maybe affiliated...

"Gran Turismo 5 will be released in the next decade"

...54 translations later we get:

[Northstar]

One day GT5 will finally be released."

...26 translations later we get:

I better go to Best Buy.

Huh?

"Imma ban the next person who posts in this thread."

"If"


Philosophical translator is philosophical.

 

[Vince_Fiero]

One day GT5 will finally be released."

...26 translations later we get:

"GT5 coming today after all."

Proves all the misunderstandings about GT5 release are just "Lost in translation" issues.

I must say that the translation does help to go faster, but if you do not understand the finesse of the original language you do get stuck regularly.

e.g. Alba here on GT Planet had a Japanese text under the name. I translated and it made no sense till I interpreted and tried to translate "Captain Haddock" and came out on the same Japanese text.
"Captain Haddock" is a figure in the Belgian comic TinTin of Hergé.

 

[RUI]

Proves all the misunderstandings about GT5 release are just "Lost in translation" issues.

This.

But, enter "lost in translation" and what you get is still lost in translation!

Original text: "Contra was my favourite game on the NES"

And from the old Guns n' Roses song:

...25 translations later we get: "The contemporary and jazz, money, stupid, because they have more patience"

...25 translations later we get:

"My mother always said: "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know. What."


"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!"

...25 translations later we get:

"Frankly, my dear, I do not care!" (Close enough!)


"You talking to me? You talking to me? You talking to me? Well, who the hell else are you talking to? You talking to me? Well, I'm the only one here. Who the **** do you think you're talking to?"

...25 translations later we get:

"I am talking about talking about talking to me? This means that the final decision? Oh, I'm talking about here, I am. Activates the egg?"


Hmm....

[Driving Park]

I love this. I put in an old Top Gear quote today:

I dont know how many I did, not all of them but I think enough and I got:

Sometimes even the most respect for trousers defokate dinner. .

 

[Rykon Zero]

Here's a part of the lyrics for Holy diver from dio

Holy diver you've been down too long in the midnight sea. Oh what's becoming of me? Ride the tiger. You can see his stripes but you know he's clean oh don't you see what I mean?

I got
One night at sea Diver Holly what? In Tiger, everything was fine, but you will not find a contact?


But after scrolling up I found this one, that is better
Holy diver in the sea at night. Oh, what are you doing? Tiger on the back. You can find links, this is bad, right?

Yup it is quite bad

Or this one

starting sentence:
Oh I'm a gummy bear yes I'm a gummy bear
