Bad Translator

Phoebus

ackuna.com/pages/badtranslator That site sucks now. https://badtranslator.xyz/ Is an acceptable substitute.

This is a site where you enter text, and it gets translated back and forth until you end up with your jumbled result. I've been having a great time plugging quotes and such into it. Here is a random ambient line I snagged from Lusternia to use as an example:

Original text:

"A flock of birds passes below the platforms, chattering in excitement among themselves."

...10 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"Birds, as a consequence, social assistance. "

If you enjoy bad translations as much as I do, give it a go, and post here if you get any good ones! 

Gabriella

"Blinking slowly, a silver firefly drifts off to the north."

"Blinking slowly, the silver fire, a dip to the North. "

These sound like some strange Buddhist sayings.  Rather dignified, if nutty?

EDIT: Actually, shall we test that?  Here's a Buddhist quote I found here:

http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/buddhism
And here's the quote itself.
"Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.”

10 translations later, this beauty:

"Training you received fraudulently. Life should be happy, strangled. Need to relax from time to time to stop and move forward. "

Daraius

Original text:

"May you be well, and your efforts fruitful."

...10 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"It will be a good thing, your efforts will bear fruit."

Not too bad. This is probably what transliterated Loboshigaru sounds like.

Gabriella

Oh. Oh God @Phoebus you shouldn't have shown me this site. @Celina 's quote from earlier is the best.

"Who knew the peaceful designers were as sassy and gruff about grammar as the PKers are about envoy reports. Is this how I get the Glom non coms to help in raids? Seren is taking away your personal pronouns! TO ARMS! Use your quill and aim for the eye."

...10 translations later.

"He knew that in the world of designers, as arrogant and rude, in accordance with the rules of the language and PKers, and the messenger of Allah, he said, because if I steal the police to help? (Sulfur)-buy people. To take up arms! Use a pencil and blink."

In the immortal words of @Celina ... "I AM THE NIGHT! SULFUR BUY THOSE PEOPLE! USE A PENCIL AND BLINK!"

Ayisdra

One of the things(or close enough to this...) @Jadice says when someone thanks them for Her divine favour:

Original text:

"As one gives, so shall one receive, thus there is order."

...10 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"You, obviously, because there is no system."

Phoebus

USE A PENCIL AND BLINK! That's great. Here's an excerpt from the Collectivist Manifesto:

Original text:

"Some individuals contribute more to the collective than others, but all contribute equally."

...10 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"Some people think this is a great contribution to the team, but still."

Gabriella

Original text:

"To be, or not to be. That is the question."

...10 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"Yes or no. This is a problem. "

Oh, oh gawd. I got curious and translated the translation that it had given me for @Celina 's quote earlier and got back even more fun times.

...10 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"He knew that in the world of designers, thick and hard, in accordance with the rules of the language PKers the messenger of Allah (sallallahu...Geneva-es-Salaam) that he stole the police to help? Sulfur for some people to take up arms! Use a pencil and monsters. "

Original text:

"This is a really bad translator"

...10 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"This is a very poor translation. "

... it... actually really isn't.

Gabriella

Original text:

" This is a wonderful addition to the commune's culture, Gabriella. May it inspire more artistic feats among your peers, and may the forest enjoy the fruits of your labours."

...10 translations later, Yandex gives us:

" This is a great addition to urbanization, Gabrielle. I can give you the technical devices of his peers, in the jungle to enjoy their work."

...N-no, that's not... no!

:-O

Phoebus

Original text:

"A sparkling amethyst thunderbird glides in a precise arc, causing the aether to spark and crackle with atmospheric instability."

...10 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"Amazing purple glass, air, birds, mountains, minutes onion, and, consequently, the trigger and the plaster on the rebellion conditions."

REBELLION? ONIONS? Belenus, what are you up to?!

Silvanus

Original text:

"We could kill the Lords because we've done it before "

...10 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"We should kill people because we used to be. "


That's pretty close.

Synkarin

Original text:

Shuyin smells funny "

...43 translations later, Yandex gives us:

Shuyin to live, to live a life. الحياة الحياة الحياة الحياة I hate the smell. "

And this

Original text:

"Sidd is the best ever"

...43 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"The name of the best in the company's history. "

Enyalida

Wut:

"My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father: Prepare to die. "

...10 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"My name is Inigo Montoya,you killed my father, prepare to die "

Synkarin

So playing with it more, I wondered it I changed the name would the translation change.

Then I realized I was doing random language order, so yes it would

so I did an experiment

"Ardmore smells funny" translated 43 times into "Ardmore smells strange"

"Shuyin smells funny" translated 43 times into "Really like the fragrance a very strange thing to survive lived lived lived lived lived lived lived ."

Conclusion - Shuyin smells so bad, some languages haven't come up with words for it yet.

Enyalida

It's so bad it's alive alive alive alive alive alive.

Erinya

I have upgraded my character description:

Erinya normal person, and nobody can prove it! Because of the skin, from head to toe, confirmed the assumption that women slim figure is the average height is low, you can come into my life forever faeling eyes temporary observers. In short, Golden hair falling on shoulders, free, style, serious face, soft and shiny, and the NOAEL blue ice, it always seems that the movement of all the details of your surroundings. It is in full compliance comfortable feel strong, it's not normal to be ashamed of the attention in any case, I, for one, remains stationary.

Daraius

Tremula

Original text:

"Celina said: Okay fine. Sneering is half my RP."

...10 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"Which means,all right. Hatred and a half rupees."

Original text:

"Surprised, Cyril Ardes says, "You... haven't married?" Smiling wryly, Aoran Kelle says, "You were the only one I ever planned that for, Cyril. Taint or no.""

...10 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"Interestingly, Cyril, and he said that you are married? Laugh Aoran Kelly said I was the only one I decided for myself Kirill pollution or not. "

Stop, this is distracting me from finishing my biography.

Phoebus

Good idea, @Erinya! I just did mine, too:

Feathers clouds still demigoddess, and on two legs entwined candidates, as well as professional codes of conduct. Dear headfeathers short, dense and sustainable lives, not careful, so, obviously, need More maintenance style. Alvin behind the defensive system to change the color, very small in size, lightweight, cream-brown, plate three times a day. Phoebus, maybe a little less skinny-fat high-taste, Build, and this women's weight, which allows him to interpret some decent, on the other hand, thing, beauty, face, especially women and children, but in their different interests, to ensure that their presence should not be easy to forget. A pair of rectangular glasses, a bridge, buried in the chip plane, stereo, lens, box thin line of gold, and it provides an attractive opposition, it was clear,blue eyes.

Who is Alvin? And am I really a little less skinny-fat high-taste? Say it ain't so!

Daraius

That is truly the best application of this website, @Erinya. Welcome to Solid Loboshigaru World. It's like some kind of poetic fever dream.

Pawpads digitigrade barefoot, dirty and put your ear in the area of three meters, in addition, all the facts to the world Cup, white light, shining glossy Golden motes of light.

Enyalida

Uh no. With ten translations, mine starts with "Hot green elf demigoddess by the horns, and the air slowly on paper."  At least it dropped the 'Horny' before ending.

Shedrin

Shedrin:

"He crysalline prism lucidian spring day and a half has been less than average height, skinny. cut a Mat from malachite, his body glowing in the light of the boundaries of the veins and some of the colors green and black organization the organization for the month of June."

Enyalida

Shedrin

"As your vision fills with a Design of infinite complexity, your mind shudders away from its quest for information about the Architect."

becomes:

"As your design vision, complete the crash, brain, shock, you want to get information of the designer."


"One Will, One Collective"

becomes:

"You want collective"

Manteekan

Ok, I had to get in on this:

He's too smart to die, and rubs against the fingers because it looks hard, cold, colorless eyes. In the sky, like curtains,light fog in his presence, but no more, skin ice cold. Transparent body and improve your weaknesses, narrow, and snow-white hair, good for his people through the skin into the air, it seems that they are from generation to generation. Jaws that stretch to the sky, and courage to not always such a terrible atmosphere watching the fog of the cold water pool in the legs, in the air, in anger, because of the inevitable storm.

Enyalida

 "Improve your weaknesses". M...mom?

Manteekan

"watching the fog of the cold water pool in the legs, in the air, in anger,"

That's the part I thought everyone would catch onto

Kraai

I don't even x43 translations = Curve information.

Using this for descriptions rules. )

I am trying to figure out how your jaws are stetched to the sky still.

Cyndarin

I haven't technically updated my description since going Kephera but here's mine:

"It's difficult around Royal blood. kephera spring demigoddess cells, the Queen is ready, and most importantly the confidence of a predator in its natural environment, their relationship, and it should be light and pleasant elasticity. His noble features"

THE QUEEN IS READY.

edit: Apparently it has a character limit

"It's difficult around Royal blood. kephera spring demigoddess cells, the Queen is ready, and most importantly the confidence of a predator in its natural environment, their relationship, and it should be light and pleasant elasticity. His noble qualities and cruel, cold face, pale as marble, and his lips thin and curves, Format, it's just the irony lies in the fact that they gave me, but the seriousness of his character. Long pure white hair, curtains head, body, hands, where, for how long, but the recruitment process. Don't like the marble, the reliability of a man, shave your head, you can tell what's going on, and that his hair was colored in blood red. The right tone, his eyes, the fire, the silence, the anger, penetrating other interesting options.Stood on top of a halo of dark liquid from this is not possible, a black box, on the forehead, and another in the head, and the shadow chrome."

Enyalida

It's good to know that your relationship is light and pleasant elasticity, too.
