Internet Translators
 
This was inspired by Dead-Air in the art thread

This is "Fuck off you cunt" translated English - Japanese - English "cunt it keeps coming out".
"Picturesque valley with lake" translated through several languages became "colorful valley with the lake"
"Rocket man" through several languages became "the rocket person".
Now you try.

"space cadet" english - portugese - english = "cadet of the space"

I tried the Beach Boys lyric "Woudn't it be nice if we were older? Then we wouldn't have to wait so long." English - Japanese - English but it didn't translate the "wouldn't"'s so I put it in unabreviated and got "Isn't that when we are older, splendid? Then as for us it is not necessary to wait so long."

Cheer up. It's not the end of the world. Would it make things better if I made a thread about her for you?

No, because it would be a sarcastic one.

I thought it said, "I love you and your sexy ways".

Lurker 06.12.2008 07:18 PM

I can't tell if you're joking. I choose to take you literally.

I put "hits are for squares" English - Japanese - English and got "Collision is because in square"

Do you want a job?

I remember reading somewhere that the Japanese equivalent of threatening to kick someone's ass literally translates to "I am going to hit you until you die". I cracked up for a good 10 minutes after reading that.
