Multibabel – Computer Translation Fun
By thomas on Oct 26, 2007 in Language Fun
Rikker over at Language Scraps has made a great find: Multibabel. Just type in an english sentence and it will translate it back and forth between several languages and English until you end up with a machine-translated mess! Here’s my entry:
Original English Text:

Now for more mind-boggling machine translation fun:
Knock knock.
Effect of the effect.
Who’s there?
Here who is?
Orange.
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange those?
Orange you going to open the door? It’s freezing out here!
The orange, that one corresponds he to extreme him to open the door? It is congealed here to the external part!
Computers are so smart.

“Computers are so smart.”
I’d like to see what you can come up with when YOU try to translate between so many languages.
