Once I found an automatic online translator which translates whole web pages or just single words from many languages to many languages. But it does it very funny way! I thought it was imossible to explain you it but I puted planetZ site in it and translated it from English into... English!!! Ha! See it yourselves: http://199.254.168.191:2000/Translate/

Following the translator:

Very funny indeed!

It's quite an intelligent translator too. It understands for example that the off topic forum isn't just off topic, but *far* off topic and it thinks the music forum isn't just about music, but about poetry :lol:

cheers,
vincent

Good translation relies on accuracy. If details or subtle meanings are lost then your audience may be completely misled or confused.

Use the best translator you can afford.

------Or in other words:

Complete transference swelling forward care. In the circumstances smallness or small interpretation are absent permanent your sense of sound possible truly judge intuitively or disorderly.

Habit love harmless interpreter you receptacle deliver.

Well thank you Samplaire, that was a huge ego boost for me. First you suggest I'm powerless and than you go on suggesting that I'm weak! :grin:

Yes ! I was trying to think of that one. It was called Galactic Pot Healer.

I remember reading this years ago and thinking about the translation game he played with his friends. It seemed utterly far-fetched to me at the time. Now it is mundane reality.

Yeah, they are! Unfortunatelly the site is sometimes not available (ie. sometimes available :smile: ). So you have to be patient and try as often as you can. It's worth it. And yes, translation into Polish is even more funny because we have declination in our language :wink:

But realy, translating PlanetZ from English into English is by far the best match!

I put a french text in this word grinder and I found it to be both hilarious and very interesting because it creates some unexpected turns which can break usual formulations...
