Translation Failures

[Blaze Moonspear]

Basically, the idea here is that you use some sort of online translator, and post some of the weird things that happen when you translate something from English to another language, then back to English.

An easy way to get some of these bad translations would be to use something like this: http://ackuna.com/badtranslator

I'll provide some examples of what somehow happened when I translated random stuff a bunch of times through various languages and back to English.

"Petit Computer comes with features that allow other people to see the programs you create. When you have a friend nearby, you can use your Nintendo DSi's Wireless Communications feature to exchange programs. And when you want to release a program to an even wider audience, you can save it onto an SD Card, load it onto your PC, and then use a browser to convert it into a QR code that lets easily make your work public. These programs can then be loaded onto a Nintendo DSi by using its camera to scan the resulting QR code."

I took this from wikipedia:

Super Mario Bros. is a 1985 platform video game internally developed by Nintendo R&D4 and published by Nintendo as a pseudo-sequel to the 1983 game Mario Bros. It was originally released in Japan for the Family Computer on September 13, 1985, and later that year for the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America, Europe on May 15, 1987 and Australia in 1987. It is the first of the Super Mario series of games. In Super Mario Bros., the player controls Mario and in a two-player game, a second player controls Mario's brother Luigi as he travels through the Mushroom Kingdom in order to rescue Princess Toadstool from the antagonist Bowser.

And some number of google translates later:

Where did you go and what language did you use for that translation? I'd like to try it out myself. Translating random words into something that could make sense seems fun.

Also, I translated "The Ballad of Sponge" from Vinesauce. It's a bit long, so I had to use multiple sets of translations. Just imagine how long it would be if it included my lyrics for verses 2-5...

Spoiler: show

Original text:

"All the sadness in the world I soak, I want to cry but instead I choke. My sadness tries to hide, but broken am I deep inside. My brothers forget me. The princess left me. Maybe dreams do come true... Maybe... Maybe they will shout my name. Maybe I'll find my fame. Orange is a lonely color... Being a Sponge... sucks"

...43 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"The world is in danger, but wet, I want to cry, but don't try to hide love in the first place, but it disappeared, and no money, like me, I almost forgot, Princess, Let me go, and not the dream become a reality...... Maybe...maybe we can say that it was my birthday. In the light of orange mouth."

The last sentence in this one actually makes sense, considering Switch Palaces exist, and you have to unlock them using secret exits.

Holy crap that actually makes sense.

Original:
The Mario franchise is the best selling video game franchise of all time, if we count the spin-offs, like Mario kart, Paper Mario, etc... Most of the games are made by Nintendo and these games released just on Nintendo consoles, except some unofficial ones, like Mario Forever and SMBX on PC. We can play the older Nintendo-exclusive games on emulators. Nintendo removed all Nintendo system-related ROMs from xxx (I don't say the site's name)
Translation:
So Mario, fire, video releases, explanations, etc. previous Mario Kart for Nintendo Paper Mario figures on a computer always, but usually Official Nintendo - Mario, SMBX before most of his career. We play old Nintendo emulator. Cash for Nintendo - distribution (site name) is.
