The funny and strange translation thread

[John Brooks]

Have you ever tried going on an online translator and translating something from English to Japanese back to English? If your computer displays question marks or squares instead of the characters, then just copy and paste the marks or squares.

POST ALL FUNNY TRANSLATIONS HERE!

P.S. A good and funny translator is at http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/

I'll start it off:

English:

To Japanese then back to English:

What are you talking about... Or is that a translation?

[John Brooks]

English:
We would like to remind everyone that it is impolite to trash stores.

This was translated to Japanese then back to English using a very good translator

To Japanese then back to English:
As for us as for that dealing with the store the fact that you have thing everyone remember who is rude is desired.

This using the very good translator, returning to English, and was translated in Japanese


This translation contradicts the original words LOL

[John Brooks]

English:

Thinking of a declaration of what to do
For the rest of the year seems ridiculous
Making resolutions to recover and improve
For one who is spontaneous, not meticulous

On the chance that there is something to it
I’ll take a silent vow with fingers crossed
Avoiding excessive disheartening thoughts
Accepting a cheerful view does not exhaust

Well so far, so good …it is already day four
Although my mood is not jubilant it is fair
Calamities from the past remain in a drawer
The sun shines as I give thanks with a prayer

To Japanese back to to English:

The hippopotamus hippopotamus oak where someone is spontaneousness it will be being, it recovers the fact that you think concerning the declaration of the thing which it should do to end of year because of 1, prudence it does the decision which improves,

I something is to that and take the silent pledge which loads the finger which is crossed with the chance that am not discharged avoid the thought which takes the excessive vigor which accepts the cheerful view

For the present the well, therefore it is good…That remains when my feeling me gives the appreciation of praying, fair disaster from the past when that it does not rejoice in the drawer which the sun illuminates simultaneously it is, but already day 4 is

[Inugo]

Sorry, I had to do one Onikura.

Original: I'm all ears, and I'm all scars to hear you tell me "boys like you try to hard to look not quite as desperate". But I'm hanging on, I still know the way to make your make-up run.

Japanese: 私はすべての耳であり、私に"を言うのを聞くすべての傷である; あなたのような男の子は懸命ににdesperate"としてかなり見ることを試みる;。 しかし私はまだ、私知っているあなたの構造を走らせる方法を掛かっている。

English again: I to be all ears, in me " They are all scars which inquire about that you say; As for the boy like you eagerly desperate" The fact that you see rather as is tried; . But as for me the method where it can send your structure which still, me has been known it catches.

[Samail]

A game. Ah.

Polish, Vietnamese, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese:
At the same time, I said to the supermarket. But they do not have rights to the content of soup I would like to the left. It is obvious that retailers on the street to a new group of people, when they arrived, I bought a couple of pounds of my needs. After making the soup taste great! Then he was hit by a thief steals.
