The Transration Gemu

[a1s]

I had an Idea for a new game, you take some well know english text (in my case it is literary, but something like a famous songs lyrics, or a review on our site wil do), then take it several times through the translator (in my case it was english-> japanese->english, but feel free to go through 3 or 4 languages), then everyone has to guess where the text came from (preferably with a quote, but that isn't strictly necesary), the person who gets it posts the next piece of text.

I'll go first:

I give Pirrip, that tombstone and my sisters - as a surname of my father of the authority of the lady who gets married with the jaw Gargery train Osamu house. I never did not meet to my father or my mother because and, (day of between photograph of day it was) you did not look at those either resemblances under any condition directly before, it regards those which are the way, my first fantasy was obtained from the tombstone, irrationally. Shape of the letter of my father, gave the strange thought of loading the black hair of the curl that he square and the stout, was the dark person in me. From quality and revolution of inscription carving/moment letter, "and the wife of above-mentioned Georgiana," I put out the immature conclusion that my mother was freckled and the infirmity. It was rearranged in the edge correct line of side of the grave, and it was holy in memory of the sibling whose my ones 5 are small and the respective approximately feet and half it is long - who it gave to the rhombus of five a little stonework, in order you try and to obtain as for life and universal struggle thing very to be quick - holding in the heart which has everything which is born in the back section which loads the hand with the pants pocket taking those of this state of existence never and without being thing me I religion is a debt for being convinced.

I just post so you know you are not abandoned (even if it would fit on an abandonware forum :whistle: ). I have no idea whatsoever what that text is, but i do like this new game's idea, and tremendously enjoy the weird result you posted ! :ok:

Can my quote be Little Britain? "He wass ... was .. a milled ... mild man..." 's Dickens, isn't it?

[a1s]

yes, it's Dickens allright, but not from "Little Britain".

[BeefontheBone]

Yes, I didn't mean that my answer was Little Britain, just that my quote was from it. Can't remember which novel that is though - Nick Nickleby?

EDIT: Great Expectations, that's the one.

of course! :ok:
your turn.

Might be a bit easy, this one - it's been from English to Spanish and back, then to Portugese and back, and I reckon it's still too easy :) Still, "blue coarse linen cloth pants" makes it worthwhile :D

He has a house in New Orle?es, they call the sun the ascension and is the ruin of many to the poor boy - and the god who I know that I am one my mother was tailor. Sewed my new blue coarse linen cloth pants. My father was a man of the game for low in New Orle?es. Now the only thing that a player needs is one suitcase and the trunk and the only time the one who is satisfied is when drunkard is in one. The mother of the Oh says its children to n?o.fazer what I made. Pass its lives in sin and the misery in the house of the sun of the ascension.

Sounds like "Animals - The House of the Rising Sun". :D

Am-C-D-F, Am-C-E7 (Am-E-Am-E7).

[BeefontheBone]

Told you it was too easy :)

[TheVoid]

Ok, my next one will be nasty :D

Edit: well, it's not really hard, since I didn't want it to go through the AOLer translator too.

This the path: English to Italian to French to Dutch to French to German to English.

n the beginning with me have the God, the sky and the earth of caused earth. The was without form, and the emptiness and nerezza was on the channel face. And ésprit from the lane God on the face of the wateren. And I dictate the God "am there clear, left", and he had there easily. And the God has, since it was really easy. And the God separated it easily from nerezza. The mentioned God has mentioned giorno and nerezza Night clear. And the suffered evening and it have there had it gave mornings, first giorno. And there the God said "lasci is of a size under the wateren, and lascila separates the wateren wateren." And the God makes at the size and the wateren separate, erano below the size of the wateren erano on the size. And it was like that. And the God mentioned the size sky. And the suffered evening and has there had he gave mornings, second giorno. And the God on "lasci the wateren below the sky says together in a place and a Trockenheitslasci of the earth the bodies to be met." And it was like that. The dry God mentioned the earth earth and the wateren, which meets erano together Seas mentioned. And the God has, since it was good. And the God said "the earth the vegetation, which plants leave to buds to float, in the seed and arbr2 of proportione I have to return it proportione its carry, in which their seed is, everyone according to the relative kind on earth." And it was like that. The earth caused the vegetation, which plants, which are it granulated second, them the kinds return, and arbr2 proportionent this its carries its seeds into them is rather, everyone after the art. and the God has, since it was good. And the suffered evening and has there had he gave mornings, third giorno.

I guess that's an excerpt from the bible. and you allso have some wierd forgein words in there...

[BeefontheBone]

That's the beginning of Genesis I think - in the beginning was God, the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void..."

[TheVoid]

Beefonthebone got it right-er. It's the beginning of the Genesis, 'till the third day. The foreign words are a leftover from the various translations.

well since beef-the-heel won't post anything, I, as the next runner up, will do that for him:
Nobody would believe last years 19-th century, that at this world looked sharply and close data (intelligence) more than the person (man) and but so mortal as their own; it as is engaged men independently about their various they concern, they were carefully investigated, and they have been investigated, it is possible almost so narrowly similarly to the person (man) with a microscope probably carefully investigate passing essences, that they роятся, and they are multiplied in Water of Decrease(Reduction) (Drop). With infinite men of sufficiency was back and forth on this globe (globe) about his(its) serene, small questions in his(its) confidence of his(its) empire on a question. It is possible, that infusorians under a microscope do(make) the same thing. Nobody has given it(him), thought to the most old worlds of a place (space) as sources of human danger, or it(he) thought of them only to tell good-bye idea concerning a life on them is similar impossible or improbable. It(He) is curious to recollect a part of intellectual habits to those parties(sides) (parties(sets)) of days. In the majority of imagined terrestrial men probably there to be other men on Mars, probably will go down to itself and it is ready to welcome business of the missionary. Still through a gulf of a place (space), minds(wits) which to our minds(wits) as ours, I to those from animals who perish, extensive both new (fresh) and not sympathizing intelligence, they considered(examined) (counted) this ground envious eyes, and they pulled (drew) certainly and slowly their plans against us. And in the beginning of 20-th century has arrived the big disappointment.



P.S. I hink we should have the same 48/24 hour rule here as in the 'guess that...' threads here, any objections?

[BeefontheBone]

Sorry, forgot about this. That's the start of War of the Worlds - got it from the first line, in fact, it's such a great opening.

The trailer for the film got me quite excited when the announcer started intoning that (or nearly that), then the names "Steven Spielburg" and "Tom Cruise" came on screen. I nearly cried.

Right, bit trickier this one. It's been to Italian, back to English and then to Portugese and back. There was a name in there which I was going to take out as being too much of a giveaway, but even that's been rendered incomprehensible :)

Of a hospital classified for the Providence next insane, the console of Rhode, he is disappeared extreme an individual here recently. It widens the name of dexter of one room of Charles and was arranged under detention reluctant of addolorantesi of the father who had given to attention its aberration to develop itself of a pure eccentricity to a blackness of the craze that is involved is of the possibility of trends murderous that a deep and particular change in the index appearing of its mind.

The mental dispersion, must line up, will age one fastly; but the face of this new person had undertaken a fine spurt that only very old they acquired normally. In as the place, its organic processes shewed stranezza certain of the ratio that in the parallel nothing in the medical experience can put. The breath and the action of the heart had had one to confuse of the lack of the simmetria; the voice was lost, in the way that was not sounds on a possible bisbiglio; the digestion was extended incredibly and diminished either and the reactions of neurali to normal or pathological the standard that of stimuli do not widen the relationship previously the qualche.cosa recorded, in everything.

In a generalized way, all the doctors are consistent that in the room that metabolism processes it had been delays it to a degree beyond the precedent.
