This thread is part of the Translator playground: a place for translators to have fun, to network, to learn, and to hone their translation or linguistic skills. See the announcement here.

Need a quick break from work? In this forum translators and language professionals can share quotes about translation, tongue twisters and word plays, translation challenges, etc.

All are welcome to participate and to add new items to this and the other areas of the Translator playground; have fun with it! If you need help or would like to propose an addition to the Translator playground, contact site staff through the online support system.


I want to share this translation game that our agency created

http://www.copypanthers.com/lost-in-translation-agency

Basically the source text will go through several online translation tools and come out as...well, as they tend to come out Often very amusing. Also there is a contest currently, 50 best (or "worst") translations will win free earphones. Try it out!

Hilarious! Sep 18, 2012

... and very reassuring, too (within the context of a recent discussion on whether MT is about to replace human translators), since I used quotes from my current translation project to play, and came to the conclusion I am not going to be out of job any time soon
