Lost in Translation Plugins
Sunday, October 9th, 2005Sunday…I haven’t done much of anything today other than fart around online. Later (like in an hour and a 1/2) I’ll be going out with Val for his birthday meal. [Happy Birthday!]
I’ve never been a huge fan of my own birthdays but I do OK when it’s someone else adding another candle on the cake. I might have to bring the fire extinguisher tonight…could be dangerous!
Let’s see…what else? Oh, I added these little flags at the bottom right of the journal that should (in theory) translate the page. I guess some things just don’t translate….see…I’ll take text from the last post like:
The other night while playing a game of Tennis Chainsaw Massacre at the public park, there were a couple of people doing this Brazilian type of Martial Arts/Exercise. It was sort of fun to watch ‘em…they were doing it in super slow-motion and in a sort of rocking back and fourth motion.
Translated to Spanish:
La otra noche mientras que juega un juego del tenis Chainsaw Massacre en el parque público, habÃa pares de la gente que hacÃa este tipo brasileño de Martial Arts/Exercise. Era clase de diversión para mirar el ‘ em… que ella lo hacÃa en a cámara lenta estupendo y en una clase de oscilación detrás y de cuarto movimiento.
And then taking that and translating is BACK to English and you get:
The other night whereas a game of tennis Chainsaw Massacre in the public park plays, there were pairs of the people who made east type Brazilian of Martial Arts/Exercise. It was class of diversion to behind watch the ‘ command post… that she made in wonderful a slow motion and in a class of oscillation and fourth movement.
"It was class of diversion to behind watch the command post"–What the?? LOL
Perhaps having a translator on the page is pointless. Specially if it makes me seem even more illiterate
