fun game - 06:18 PM
(filed under 'general')
now here's a fun game. i just discovered it (although i'm sure it's been done before). it's kind of like chinese whispers, i guess, but the international version done with the babel fish translator.
type in some words in your native language, then translate it into another language, any language you choose. copy the translated text in again & translate it back into your native language to see how it comes out.
keep going a few times to see how garbled it becomes. you could also try translating it into a few other languages before it comes back to your native language.
good if you're bored. heh. 
(.. & no, i'm not bored, i just did it kind of by accident when i actually had to use the translator.)
I am going to ban myself from trying to speak a foreign language every again. Mainly of fear of what I am going to say, especially in Korea. I typed in Can you speak slowly please. Try it and have a laugh! scarey. And yes Coralie I was actually bored when I did this lol
i wasn't bored but tried it anyway. considered using it for the paper i'm writing for the japanese. i emailed you the results. maybe i won't. lol
there is actually a site that will automatically put it through babelfish for you lots of times and then show you the results.... here http://www.tashian.com/multibabel/
