LOST IN TRANSLATION
We all know that the internet is great. It has vast amounts of porn, music, video, social networking, games, comedy (natch), curry recipes, and sundry other ways to waste your time without having to leave the comfort of your desk at work. However, we at twistedmindz have discovered a new use for the internet, an all new way to alleviate those long friday afternoons.
Some of you may have heard of altavista's translator, "babelfish". Some of you may even have used it from time to time. But how often have you translated things in to Korean, and then back to English again? I would hazard a guess that for most of you, it's a rare occurance, and that's sad. It's sad because you are missing out on such mirth as:
The Lord's Prayer
English
Our Father, who art in Heaven
Hallowed by thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
and lead us not in to temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
The power and the glory
For ever and ever
Amen |
Korean and back
Inside our father heaven art
The thy by a name the new star it does to do
Future life Thy
The Thy will do
In endurance that way inside heaven
Us the bread give this day everyday in us
And forgive our trespass in us
We head and us in order to forgive them whom we infiltrate
And in temptation us the map do in inside
Transport us but from evil
The thine is the hazard kingdom
Force and honor
Forever
Amen |
Using babelfish, you can translate one line at a time (as was used for the above) or you can translate an entire block of text at once. This can lead to some very interesting results, as shown by Adny's translation of one of the most important literary works of our age. I am of course referring to the lyrics for MC Hammer's "You Can't Touch This"
English
Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Can't touch this
|
Korean and back in one block
It will be able to touch this
and this it will be able to touch
and this it will be able to touch
and this it will be able to touch
