I got the idea for this blog post from one of those big "Bathroom Readers" that you find at Walmart or Costco. The instructions are to type a sentence into an online language translator, first in English, then translate it into another language (and to make it more fun, into one or two more other languages), then back into English. It's hilarious to see how the sentence changes once it is filtered through each language. I decided to use random statements that I encounter each day. Here are some that I translated...I used Free Translation.
Original (My latest Facebook status update)
Juana Lopez is sitting in church with my babies :) Love "M, J, and new P". Hollla for my babies!

Translation (English > Arabic > Spanish > English)

Original (Your favorite quote from a movie - Mine is from The Dark Knight)
"Never start with the head, the victim gets all fuzzy"
Translation (English > Finnish > English)
"It is never a start, which is the head, not a victim of all fuzzy"
Original (Your favorite quote from a song - From Lady Gaga's Bad Romance)
"I want your love and I want your revenge. You and me could write a bad romance."
Translation (English > Turkish > English)
"I love you and I am in revenge on me to write bad love for you."
The results are so funny! Play around and make your own hilarious translations! Comment and let me know how they turned out! :) Blessings!
