In keeping with the spirit of the BART Psychogeographical Association, I used the "Transportation" Section of the Wikipedia entry for my neighborhood (Potrero Hill) as my plaintext:
"Two freeways run through Potrero Hill, U.S. Route 101 on the western side Interstate 280 on the eastern side.
Public transportation is provided by Muni along several bus lines, including lines 10, 15, 19, 22, 48, and 53. In mid-2006, the Third Street Light Rail Project will be completed and bus service by the 15 Third line on Third Street will be replaced by a Muni Metro line. Additionally, there is a Caltrain station located at 22nd Street, near Pennsylvania Avenue."
Using MacOS X Sherlock for a encoding engine, and the following algorithm
English -> Japanese (whoops, one way) -> English -> German -> French -> Portugese -> English:
The result was:
"The hill of the Potrero, for the American of 280 of the solidarity of
