Default Fun with Google translator!

Okay, so I saw somewhere that Google translator can do some pretty funny things, so I decided to try it myself. I took the following line:
"Orchids, the plants that I do so very love, are the most complex and highly evolved family in the plant kingdom." And translated it into Gujarati. I then took what I got and translated it back into English, and then repeated that process about ten times, and ended up with:
"Orchids, plants, or plants, Mother, I love the most complex and highly developed family empire." This is WAY different!

I then took the following line:
"I took my pony and hastily trotted to the government to pick up my mother."

I then translated that into Afrikaans, then into Gujarati, then Dutch, Korean, Russian, Maltese, Yiddish, then finally back into English, and came out with this:
"Said, pony Yu bar malajr Night - donors."

This is HILARIOUS!!!

And to put the cherry on the cake (This one is going to be looooong!), I translated:
"The silly little translators made a big mistake with their machine, and now they look funny! Lots of people laugh at their misfortune, and some even cry."

Went from English to Arabic, Czech, Hebrew, Latin, Kannada, German, Ukrainian, Filipino, and then back to English. I got the following:
"Translation stultum see errors, tools for pipsa turpis! Lorem populum suum deridebit incident noise quaedam etiam." I think the reason it is so screwed up is because I had Latin in there, and since Latin is extinct, I might not have a translation into other languages! LOL!!! This was hilarious, I could probably do this all night!!!

Ok, so I think everything got hung up on the Latin switch! I turned the above from Latin to English, and got:
"Translation errors see a fool, pipsa tools for more! We are his people laugh at some of them even cut noise."

This is one many of us "older" members may remember from when such translation programs became available. It purported to show the difficulty of translation by machine. The saying "Out of sight, out of mind" was translated into Russian and came out "Blind and crazy"
