I've found this website that translates a single phrase up to 54 times, to another language and than back to english. Because translations aren't often entirely correct, the original phrase can be something completely different from what you wrote to begin with.

Click this link and type in a phrase, than share on this thread what the result was!

Bad Translator!

This is mine:

Original text:

"I have found treasure on treasure island!"

...54 translations later we get:

""We are looking for real estate on the Island!"


Please post your result in a similar format to mine

Only post the ending result given to you...
No need to post the whole thing, very long, and too many symbols.

If you put in 'I had sex with a . . . .' you get strange results . . . .
54 translations puts 'I had sex with a large vagina' into 'I have enough stress.

Saying 'I had sex with a large bread' translates out to 'Core Age' after 54 translations.

'I had sex with a large book' changes to 'world-wide book.'

'I had sex with a small computer' changes to 'I think.'

'I had sex with the Universe' changes to 'my world.'

I know, a bit crude . . . but the results are baffling.

I'm madly in love with the entire concept of you.

54 Translations later is.

"I like what I see."

54 Translations later is.

"Therefore,"

Random comma?

Let's start something.
The next poster uses the result of the above poster's translation as the original phrase to translate.

So if my result is "Bob the builder", the following poster would translate Bob the builder, and get another result which would be passed on.

"Dogs live in fear."


Apparently one of the translations was "life was sh-" and this became "life is dog droppings"...
