I stumbled across a website called the 'Bad Translator', which allows you to input text and have it translated several times over in various online translators such as Bing. It generally ends up getting some pretty bizarre results (hint: the longer the text and translation number, the better), some of which can be rather funny, so as Drill Master suggested I thought I'd make a topic for people to share their translations on. The website is very easy to use and can be found here: Bad Translator. Simply translate a piece of text and copy and paste the result in the pop-up into a post here. Example: Original text: 'If you select the red brick, you go. If you select the green brick, you stay.' Translates to: 'Glass and red. If you select the stones next to the hotel.' Some translations Arthuriel, Biorune, Drill Master and I have done already:

Original text: "Rock Raiders II: Block Raiders" ...8 translations later, Bing gives us: "Rock Raiders (II): stop the kidnapper" But can it get worse?! Original text: "Rock Raiders II: Block Raiders" ...35 translations later, Bing gives us: "(The Board): the kidnappers to stop kicking."

Guys I think we broke the website, it's not working for me now, despite working a few hours ago. EDIT: Original text: "Seriously, no bull! It's at the bull's castle!" ...35 translations later, Bing gives us: "This is a serious problem. Cow Palace."

Original text: "Are you ready to leave Lego Island?" ...8 translations later, Bing gives us: "Takashimaya will continue?" Oh my..... Edit: Original text: "Best pizza on the island. Even if it wasn't the only pizza on the island." ...35 translations later, Bing gives us: "The best pizza on the island are islands." That's even more weird.

And I have made the Mahiki again. Toa Metru version this time instead of Turaga. I have to say that besides the color and the "ears" I see no resemblance between the two. I just realized that I haven't posted the finished turaga pic. I'll add that sometime this week to the first post.

"Whoops! You forgot to put the CD in your computer!" ...35 translations later, Bing gives us: "Less to forget." "Pepper here, the fastest pizza deliverer in the West!" ...35 translations later, Bing gives us: "Thai Chili pizza" Not literally, although a Thai Chili Pizza sounds good.

Original text: "I'll show you a bad translation! You want one, you got one! Here is the worst translation in the history of worst translations ever in the entire universe for all of space!!" ...35 translations later, Bing gives us: "... In your hands, it's bad for you is the story of the universe are all bad: traditional." *Rewrites Dictionary* Traditional (noun) - The story of the universe that are all bad and also bad for you, in your hands.

I translated the sentence "Chief is one of the six main Characters from Rock Raiders. " dozens of times, because I wanted to know, how many weird translations are possible. Here are the best examples (I had four open tabs with the bad translator to get more translations in the same time. Sorry that I have so many translations, but I couldn't decide, which ones were better): ...8 translations later, Bing gives us: "Stone is one of the six main characters, General Manager of the pirates." Comment: Best job description ever. I hope, that Pirate General Manager "Stone" will appear in Rock Raiders II results with 35 translations and Bing: "The six main characters die, how many people." "The stone is an important part of the President of the Republic. Hunter 6" "Rock Raiders is the sixth sign of the Governor." "Pirates of People's Republic of China is one of six characters." "Kennedy in part 6 of the Israel Army Commander." "Geology of Indonesia: philosophy, Zhang Jing." "This is a 6, a former Bush virus." "President George w. Bush's sins." "The six main characters: bandits" "List of Presidents of the hijackers." "The robbers and one of the main characters in a line to success, as Chairman of the meeting." "6 four main characters are 2 thieves." "The main character was one of the six walls." "Sign up for the theft of the stone 6." "The cross was stolen. Two big 6" "One of the first female President of India 6: Jones is amazing." "Hollywood Hunter 2-6" "Hands of Stone, one of the participants in the market." "Rock band 6" "Genre: pop rock Raiders 6 Sunday." "Rock Raiders 6." "The key was stolen."

Original text: "Lord merCy was such an epic administrator for Rock Raiders United. I'm sure maveriC will be just as good!" ...27 translations later, Bing gives us: "In the United States and the Antichrist, and school leaders. Did you know."

Original text: "Rock Raiders United: For Legends. " ...35 translations later, Bing gives us: "The United States pirate rock: Art Deco style."

Original text: "Roadblock! I'm not going anywhere, try the other way." ...8 translations later, Bing gives us: "To him, we are! A few of the Lord, they will not be for nothing."

(In memory of my first friendzone) Anyways, this occurs if you click a house too much. (Tested only with this one house; not confirmed for the others.)

Typo or no, I couldn't have said it better myself. The industry needs another crash in order for the powers that be to see that people are just tolerating games now, for the most part. They're desensitized to what they're used to: Gimmicky crap with a s***ton of DLC. I'm convinced that, in a couple years, kids will look at the games we grew up with (N64/ PS1-GameCube/PS2 era) and say to us "That's like a baby's toy!" Yes, that was a Back To The Future reference. The PC elitists will likely be the least affected, since they live on a secluded island from the rest of the gaming community. For the most part, they're self-sufficient, as long as better PC components are made and a few indie developers cater to the "Master Race". I think the main problem that will stop another industry crash is licensing. Back in the late 70s/early 80s, everyone from Sears to Quaker Oats was making their own games, resulting in a metric butt-tonne of shovelware. few of these games were licensed by Atari and the like, and there was no need. Nintendo fixed this after the NES was a success by using a "Seal of Approval" which had to be on each NES game. Sure, there were (and still are) some bootlegs, and this was seen in the 16-bit era ("Bible Adventures", anyone?), but other console companies adopted it, and for the most part it stopped shovelware. Now the exact opposite happened. Licensed games are today's shovelware (ain't that ironic?). But they have people's favorite characters and films and other media in them, so they still sell enough to be profitable. It's put the gaming industry in limbo, and even with a bit of an Orwellian take to it. People will still buy the crap because it's all they're used to. It's new and LOOKS appealing, but look again! People just want to be entertained, at the end of it all, which leaves the majority of the gaming industry (mainly mobile platforms) doomed to a massive steaming pile of ass with a shiny packaging for games. How did I do, McJobless? Is this Wot U Fink?

So it is. Thanks for letting me know. I fixed the post. I use Paint.net for the drawing.
