What I love about translation widgets
I ran a test phrase through the translator widget on my powerbook to see how accurate the translation was. I chose German, as that's the only language I can do more than order chicken in. Here's how things broke down or, rather, how they broke apart:
Original English:
For all the girls with the long red hair
Who make my want to try:
Thank you.
Give yourself a hand.
Translated into German
Für das Mädchen mit dem langen roten Haar
Das mich versuchen wünschen läßt:
Danke.
Geben sich eine Hand.
Bad German translated back into Bad English
For the girl with the long red hair try me to require leaves:
Thanks.
Give themselves a hand.
and back into German
Für das Mädchen mit dem langen roten Haar versuchen Sie mich, um
Blätter zu benötigen:
Danke.
Geben Sie sich eine Hand.
Finally, English-to-German-to-English-to-German-to-English
For the girl with the long red hair you try me,
in order to need pages:
Thanks.
Give yourselves a hand.
