Default The Translation Game

The idea of the game is that someone take the previous poster's translated quote, translates it with an online translator like google, post the results, retranslate it into english and post the newly mangled quote. Then after a while someone will post a new quote once the translations start looking the same.

For example:

Original: Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Chinese: 不要走在我後面,我可能不會導致。不要走在我前面,我可能不會跟隨。我身邊只是走路,是我的朋友。

Retranslated: Do not walk behind me, I may not lead. Do not walk in front of me, I may not follow. I'm just walking around, is my friend.

(not the best example but it's an example)

To start off I grabbed some random quote from Helen Mirren.:

I don't believe that if you do good, good things will happen. Everything is completely accidental and random. Sometimes bad things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you try to do good things, then you're spending your time doing something worthwhile.

Default Re: The Translation Game

this is cool (Assuming this is how I should do it...If I'm doing it wrong then let me know @_@)

Telugu: నేను మీరు మంచి, మంచి విషయాలు జరిగే నమ్ముతారు లేదు. అంతా పూర్తిగా ప్రమాదవశాత్తు మరియు యాదృచ్ఛిక ఉంది. కొన్నిసార్లు చెడు విషయాల మంచి ప్రజలకు జరిగే మరియు కొన్నిసార్లు మంచి విషయాలు చెడ్డ పరుగెత్తుచున్నవి. మీరు మంచి పనులు ప్రయత్నించండి అయితే కనీసం, మీరు ఉపయోగకరమైన చేయడం మీ సమయం గడిపిన చేస్తున్న.

retranslated: I was good for you, do not believe that good things happen. Everything is purely accidental and unintentional. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, and sometimes bad things happen to good. If you try to do things better, at least, you're spending your time doing useful.

seems close enough :/...
new quote: When I get a chance to play golf or go on a boat with good people, take the boat out and put some lobsters on the grill, get the ice-cold beer and the cigars - that's heaven here on earth.

- Bernie Mac

I used to do this where I would take copypasta and then put it through seven translations and see what comes out the end. Give me a few hours and I'll post some.

In Latin: Ire cum navis vel a forte bonas ad ludere golf, accipite et pones arcam locustis in craticula, et habere cervisia sigarra frigidi - ut in terris coelum.


Retranslated: To go with the ship or a chance to good to play golf, Take this, and canst thou set down the ark of the locusts on the gridiron, and to have a beer cigars cold - as on the earth to heaven.

New quote: "What would happen if you melted? You know, you never really hear this talked about that much, but spontaneous combustion? It exists!"

- Keanu Reeves


Not for nothin' but I think a new quote should be supplied every time someone posts. IDK, just sayin'
