    Online Translation - A warning.
    Check out this site, it's a great site to have a play about with:

    Lost in Translation

    It takes some english input, translates it into a different language using babelfish, then translates back to English, then translates into another language, then back into English. This happens several times and it gives you the final text, which is often completely different from what you put in, especially if you used the korean, chinese and japanese options.

    Final English Text:
    It fixes quemoi, DEMAND, that a pretty station of the work is the
    work, where can the sustenation of many taken expert with that one
    you.
    See? :D

    I like the Chinese, Japanese and Koren version even more:

    Maybe that should be our motto?

    Enjoy!

    Haha, how fun! Of course all I could think of at the moment were Christmas songs, but it turned out pretty funny!
    "We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year"
    Turned into this:
    "Ours to fill of the day and the use it loaded of Maria, desire of the
    question and the numbers 64."

    It always ends up sounding very profound, but completely nonsense, it's great :)
