Maybe not a real forum game, but I thought it would be a funny topic. Share the funniest Google Translate fails here! They may be names of persons or brands which are changed to something else, or if you translate something from English to another language, and then translate that back to English! I'll start: Translate "Samsung" from English to Latvian, click on the translation and you'll also see Nokia and Siemens
If you try to translate Nokia you'll also get LG (and "nokia Nokia") and if you translate Siemens you also get Samsung, Nokia, Motorola and Alcatel! | |

Oh man, GTranslate is a riot. "I think VVVVVV is a very great indie game. Terry Cavanagh is a very great indie developer!" *translates to Japanese and back again* "I think it indie game VVVVVV is very great. Terry Kavanagh is a very great indie developer!" ...Terry Kavanagh??? | |

Well, at least it didn't translate it as "Terii Kabanaa"! Because that's basically what "テリー·カバナー" says. | |

By going to throwing of your computer from the window, what do you mean? I think in English from the back, and something in translation from English to Japanese. (no GT, the other way around... To translate the text of their Japanese then everyone goes back to English, it is another good idea for the game's forum is a topic perhaps!

I once translated something from English into Afrikaans, then to Albanian, then to Arabic, and all the way to Yiddish (so through all languages), and then back to English. I think I started with "I'm doing something useful right now." and ended up with "I heard a lot." | |

I really want a Wii U. ↓ into Chinese Traditional ↓ 我真的想了一台Wii U. ↓ into Dutch ↓ Ik wil heel graag een Wii U. ↓ into Vietnamese ↓ Tôi thực sự muốn có một Wii U. ↓ into Greek ↓ Θέλω πραγματικά ένα Wii U. ↓ into Bulgarian ↓ Аз наистина искам един Wii U. ↓ into English ↓ I really want a Wii U. Holy crap Google Translate actually held together the sentence. Maybe if I translate into Japanese and back... I really want a Wii U. ↓ into Japanese ↓ 私は本当にWiiのUを望む ↓ into English ↓ I really hope the Wii U's Yep. GT's problem is Japanese. | |

Will this fragile sentence survive Google Translate? ↓ into Japanese ↓ この壊れやすい文はGoogle翻訳を生き残るだろうか？ ↓ into English ↓ Will Google survive translation statements that this fragile? ↓ into Japanese ↓ Googleは、この壊れやすい翻訳文を生き残るだろうか？ ↓ into English ↓ Google is, would survive the translation this fragile? ↓ into Japanese ↓ グーグルは、この壊れやすい翻訳を生き残るだろうか？ (where did 'Google' go?) ↓ into English ↓ Google, would survive the translation to this fragile? ↓ into Japanese ↓ Googleは、この壊れやすいの翻訳を生き残るだろうか？ (and it's back again  )↓ into English ↓ Google is, would survive the translation of this fragile? ↓ into Japanese ↓ グーグルは、この壊れやすいの翻訳を生き残るだろうか？ (and it's gone again) ↓ into English ↓ Google, would survive the translation of this fragile? ↓ into Japanese ↓ Googleは、この壊れやすいの翻訳を生き残るだろうか？ (and back) ↓ into English ↓ Google is, would survive the translation of this fragile? (now we got an infinite loop) So the answer is: No, Google is, would not survive the translation of this fragile.

Wow. Try this: http://ackuna.com/badtranslator It translates up to 35 times through all languages Bing knows. Even "OK" doesn't survive, and somehow gets changed to "The Chain."! | |

Try translating 'enttäuschend' from German to English. It actually means 'disappointing', but Google gives us 'disappointing' 'excellent' and 'superb'! | |

Sorry, *35. Even "Yes" didn't survive. It got turned into "The following steps:" EDIT: "This sentence is kinda long, but that doesn't really matter. After all, more words means more good! ...right? Maybe not. Maybe I should just stop talking. Should I stop talking? Yes? OK, fine." Translated 35 times: "It's too small. There is no sense in the end. If a better name ... You won't be able to stop the import process makes Ernst? Yes, this is it!" | |
