Language "Encryption" by Dave van der Brugge

November 1st, 2006 4:57 PM

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".

Since half a year, Im having a long black (fake)leather coat, you know, like the ones from The Matrix. Therefor I am frequently annoyed with quotes from that movie. The most heard is: 'There is no spoon.' That's why I'm using this line for the Language "Encryption" Task.

(english) There is no spoon.
===french===> Il n'y a aucune cuillère.
====dutch===> Er is geen enkele lepel.
===english==> There is absolutely no spoon. // Here is the word "absolutely" mysteriously added.
===french===> Il n'y a absolument aucune cuillère.
=portuguese=> Não há absolutamente nenhum cuillère. // The french word for spoon can't be translated to portuguese, so there is no spoon anymore...
===english==> Cuillère does not have none absolutely. // And now, no-one will ever know what was originally ment. Still continuing though.
===spanish==> Cuillère no tiene ninguno absolutamente.
===french===> Cuillère n'a aucun absolument.
===german===> Löffel hat kein unbedingt. // Because we did french again, there is a spoon... getting confused already?
===english==> Spoon does not have absolutely. // absolutely what? Any use? Power? Existence?

We started without a spoon, we ended up with a spoon. However it must be incomplete or something because of not absolutely (missing word).
