I suppose that counts as a translation failure.

I lost my Legend of Zelda translation, but it said something about the color white and princes and stuff, it was very interesting...

Here are my 5 god-awful translations:
Spoiler: show
Original text:

"Palutena is my waifu."

...43 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"Bible is a mirror."

What?
Spoiler: show
Original text:

"I'm sure that Mario Maker is Nintendo's answer to Mario Builder."

...33 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"I think the Creator of Mario, the game that is the answer to this question Mario construction."

Uhh...
Spoiler: show
Original text:

"I am the Law!"

...22 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"On the right side."

I'm on the right side of the Law... Riveting!
Spoiler: show
Original text:

"My body is Reggie!"

...43 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"I'll shoot you in the body!"

O-k.
Spoiler: show
On this last one, I took the first four lines from Metallica's "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)". And this was the result:

Original text:

"Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged"

...33 translations later, Yandex gives us:

"Welcome to the stop time. Not Full moon night, no change. Mental"

Kill me now.

I don't know why this wasn't locked before but this is effectively a forum game.
