Language "Encryption" by K. Signal Eingang

i:"Colourless green ideas sleep furiously."
o: "You do not think about how its ecological activities forces voluntary sleep."
I was trying to transcrypt nonsense into sense, and somehow found myself with a line from Mothra vs. Godzilla. Close enough, I guess.
I started with English->Japanese->English, thence to Arabic, and from there hit practically every translator at least once, with the exception of Italian, which always left behind straggler words that refused to be translated into any other language. The switch from "green" to "ecological" happened somewhere between German and French and from there it was smooth sailing. Kicking it from English->Simplified Chinese->English repeatedly seemed to be a good way to get Google to improvise pronouns and linking words where none were present before, which was handy.
OK!

OK!
I used the same sentence for "photographic sentence".
