As per Alorael: this is a contest to see who can get the most hillarious results from translating one phrase through Babelfish. You can translate as many times as you want and you can use whatever translation settings you want, but you cannot edit the output whatsoever at any point. You will need to post the translation chain you used in addition to your final result. (Yes, you must use Babelfish, not a Google app.) The phrase for this contest is: "Welcome to the Spiderweb Software message boards. Leave your sanity at the door." -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central "Making poorly-sourced claims is not the same as determining something."

English to Korean back to English: "Spiderweb in software telegram country illusion. You it is moderate in the door let to leave." Repeat: "Inside software telegram country illusion Spiderweb. It spread out and in order to leave it was moderate in it sending kind regards and it made." Repeat: "Internal software telegram country illusion Spiderweb. It spreaded out at the outside and that it lets to leave it, it made inside it it sends the relationship which is kind under moderateness." Repeat: "Inside software telegram country illusion Spiderweb. It in order outside it to let to leave spreaded it, at the outside that it makes made on it internal which sends the relationship which is kind to the lower part of the moderateness." Repeat: "Internal software telegram country illusion Spiderweb. Above it inside order it spreaded it, on the inside made to it it sends the relationship which is kind to the lower part of the moderateness it will make in order to leave outside it made." (Side note: It seems that English->Korean->English never becomes stable... at least not as far as I went) English to Portugese to English: "Internal Illusion Spiderweb of the country of the telegram of software. Above of it the order of the interior it spreaded, in the done interior it who emits the relationship that is amiable to the part most inferior of moderateness will make the end to leave except d fêz" And lastly... English to German to French to Greek to English: "The delusion Spiderweb places under restriction of country of telegram of software. In spreaded the order of Innerens this, means internal realised that radiate his relations, partly s friendly is that is the most inferior fait moderateness, end d fkz of going exceptionally." (wonders what fkz is) [ Saturday, November 10, 2007 16:26: Message edited by: Ephesos ] -------------------- TM: "I want BoA to grow. Evolve where the food ladder has rungs to be reached."

But the ending few weren't quite as funny as some of the earlier ones, so meh.

I think I can soundly award the first place prize to Dikiyoba's entry: "the net of the declaration of middles to the program greets the switches to the image of the mirror. It transmits your reason to the hatch." English-German-English-German-English-Russian-English-Russian-English-Italian-English Admittedly, the second sentence in the phrase is probably most responsible for this win.

From English => Dutch => English => French => Greek => English And this is the result: Onthaal Spiderweb. . (which is actually completely Dutch and means "Welcome Spiderweb". For some reason it erased just about all of the sentence when I translatend from French to Greek... EDIT: Oh, too late for the contest. Oh well, it was still sort of nice to do it.

quote:I guess how long it takes to stabilize depends on the quality of the translator. Their Russian translations are particularly bad, managing to butcher every phrase I put in, no matter how simple. So the English->Russian->English loop never stabilized, but eventually began to flip between the same pair of results: It in best road in the pliability of order to connection middles dosk programs Spiderweb. Transmit your sanity to the door. and: It in best road in the pliability of order to dosk middles connection programs Spiderweb.
