Language "Encryption" by Shimmer Lunatic

June 9th, 2006 1:12 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Using online translation tools, "encrypt" some text (that you write or find) by translating it multiple times into different languages and then back into English.

For instance, "The drive to play San Francisco Zero" translated from English to German to French to Italian to English again becomes "The order of Saint game Francisco".

I used http://www.worldlingo.com/en/products_services/worldlingo_translator.html as my online translation device.

I started with the following text:

"The chair is against the wall. John has a long moustache."

I translated the text into the following languages (in order) from English to:

Arabic
Dutch
French
German
Greek
Italian
Portuguese (Brazilian)
Russian
Spanish
Swedish

and then back to English.

Somewhere along the line, the translator replaced the word "moustache" with some synonym for "drinker," and it all went downhill from there. Here is the phrase that came out of this hypertext version of "Telephone":

"For the stool of the acknowledgment that will be satisfied to the wall. Graspings of Juan that will be drunk greatly."
