| Oh god, I love translation train wrecks! I once put in the entirety of Zant's last speech before his boss fight in Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. 'No' came out as 'call of acquisition', of all things. Very bizarre. Now let's put this lot through, shall we?
English--Chinese (simplified)--Italian--Japanese--Bosnian--English
Oh, God, I love disaster translation! I put my last speech around Zandvoort before the boss fight his one Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I call 'won' all things, a 'No'. Very strange. Well, let's put this much is good, since?
(So, the first sentence was changed but still accurate. I didn't expect 'Zant' to be translated anyway, 'Very strange' stayed the same, but the rest? The hell?! )

| Well, that didn't work. Maybe something longer next time? They tend to be more likely to be completely ruined in translation.
English--Bosnian--Japanese--German--English
Well, it did not work. Maybe a little more next time? Tend these are easily translated from completely destroyed.
(From completely destroyed? Seems the translator has no knowledge of its own idiocy.)

| Okay, I now have fifty eight copper and one hundred fifty four silver. Let's put this through several Scandinavian languages, since Danish will probably ruin it.
English--Swedish--Norwegian--Finnish--Danish--English

| Scandinavian languages are fun, but I just say that because I'm biased. After all, I have a strange love for Norse mythology. By the way, have you seen where I put my copy of the Poetic Edda? I can't seem to find it!

| I've always found that Japanese and Chinese are great for ruining translations, but I can't remember just why right now.
English--Chinese (simplified)--Japanese--Chinese (traditional)--English
Always, I find that it is a great doting translation China and Japan, but why I do not remember.

| It can be truly amazing just how badly machine translation can mess things up. Something humans are still better at. Bit of trivia for you, there used to be a website that would run the translations through several different languages for you, without the constant copying and pasting that we have to do now. Sadly, it was forced to shut down.
English--Korean--Chinese (traditional)--Japanese--Bosnian--English
This is a great way you can mix a bad machine translation. Or something more human. You can test the will for you, we have to do now to be used for translating different languages for the execution sites, however, copy and paste, not fixed. Unfortunately, he was forced to close it.

| Once upon a time there was a bored girl called Sam. She sat at the computer, thinking about nothing because she was too bored. Then, all of a sudden....
NOTHING HAPPENED!
And so she continued to be bored.
The End.

| The greatest present you can give someone is nothing. Really, there's this website that actually sells a packaged nothing, with a money-back guarantee if something does happen.
English--Bosnian--German--Russian--Italian--Hebrew--Latin--Welsh--English
The greatest gift you can give to someone. In fact, this site does not really know how something is packaged for sale, and in the streets policies meet these criteria.
