Original text:
"Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious summer by this sun of York"
...35 translations later, Bing gives us:
"During the summer in New York is very simple, here."


HAHAHAHAHA

Miserere nobis, domine.
English: have mercy on us, sir.
Spanish: para nosotros,. nuestro señor
French: pour nous, seigneur
Italian: per noi, Mr.
Dutch: dat doen we niet. u
Portuguese: nós não. você (I went through all languages, but was too lazy to write them all.)

Something went terribly wrong there... Back into Latin: Non glorificasti.... !!!! There, really, I don't understand.

Dutch: we don't do that. Huh?

Little experiment: let's take a few of the last translation requests we've had, and see what those op's would have gotten if they'd gone to google translate instead of here:

The fallen know but one challenge, and that is to rise once more.
Scire autem contradictione quod cecidit, et rursus ad surgendum est.
Approximate attempt at "translation" of what that """"means"""": To know however by the counter-argument that he/she fell, and that he/she is again in order to rise.

Her heart was a secret garden and the walls to it were very high.
Occulta cordis eius quasi hortum altissimo muro.
The hidden things of her heart are like (a garden I guess, but how to translate an accusative here) with a high wall.

Trust no one. Numbers are the truthful lover.
Neminem crede. Numeri sunt veraci amante.
Entrust no one. Numbers are with a truthful lover.

It is not the destination, but the journey that counts.
Destinatio non est nisi istud iter.
There is no purpose except that journey.

I have a cat it my pants. It is on fire.
Habeo feles in mea Braccae. Est in ignem.
I have cats into my things, pants. It is into a fire.

Accept what you cannot change, embrace the future.
(Wow, the first part is right! But the amplecti futurum changes everything...)
Accipite quod mutari non potest amplecti futurum.
Accept that to embrace the future cannot be changed (I guess... or accept that to change cannot embrace the future).

I am your sword, I am your shield.
Gladius tuus sum ego protector tuus sum.
I am your sword I am your protector.

When you play a game of thrones, you win or you die.
Lusum cum Thronorum invenies aut mori.
When you shall find a game of thrones or to die.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Non cadit in maxima gloria, sed quoties ortum occasum.
It doesn't fall in the greatest glory, but each time it has arisen to fall.

 

[Iohannes Aurum]

The below are taken from the translation challenges.

My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.
Nomen Ozymandias rex regum. Videte opera mea, Virtutes, ac desperare.

 

[Pacifica]

Oh, I love the virtutes for "ye mighty"... But I'm impressed by videte opera mea, exactly the same as Cinefactus put it, congratulations.

 

[Iohannes Aurum]

There was a time when our world was blanketed in darkness. The people of that time fought back and reclaimed their future. But their story could never be passed down to future generations. Did this amazing adventure really happen or not? No one knows for sure, but if you can walk out into the night sky and speak to the moon, I'm sure it would tell you all about our strange adventure.

Maximillian of Palm Brinks

Cum aliquando tenebrae blanketed tellus. Repugnantibus et futuri temporis populum tulit. Sed posteris tradiderunt non posse adipisci. Numquid hoc mirabile valebat uere factum an non? Certe nemo scit, si ambulaverit in nocte luna caelo locutus sum vobis quidem omnibus usu nostro alienum.

Maximillian de Palm Brinks

Notice how "blanketed" and "Palm Brinks" are left untranslated.

 

[Pacifica]

Cum aliquando tenebrae blanketed tellus. Repugnantibus et futuri temporis populum tulit. Sed posteris tradiderunt non posse adipisci. Numquid hoc mirabile valebat uere factum an non? Certe nemo scit, si ambulaverit in nocte luna caelo locutus sum vobis quidem omnibus usu nostro alienum.

And if we give them the Latin translation I made of the same text to translate into English:

Fuerunt tempora quibus mundus noster operiebatur tenebris. Illorum temporum homines pugnaverunt futuraque sua reciperarunt. Sed illorum historia sequentibus saeculis tradi nunquam potuit. Num ea mirabilia revera facta sunt annon? Certum nemo scit, sed si potueris in nocturnum caelum egredi lunamque alloqui, certus sum eam omnia de mirabili historia nostra tibi narraturam.

Maximillianus de marginibus palmae.

There were times in which our world is covered with darkness. Those times, men will continue to fight his recovered. But their story has never been able to deliver the following centuries. Is it really wonderful happened eh? Certainly, no one knows, but if you can go out in the night sky and moon to address, I am sure that all of you have a wonderful history of our report.

Maximillianus margins of victory.

Magistral:

Eusebium super his, cui erat Constantiani thalami cura commissa, alte spirantem et dirum, addixere poenae letali, quem ab ima sorte ad usque iubendum imperatori paene elatum ideoque intolerabilem, humanorum spectatrix Adrastia aurem - quod dicitur - vellens monensque ut castigatius viveret, reluctantem praecipitem tamquam e rupe quadam egit excelsa.

Eusebius of account, which was entrusted with the care Constantiana chamber, deep breathing, and harsh, given the lethal punishment, which even with the bottom of the lot to command general scale, and therefore almost unbearable, Adrastus observer of human ear - which is to say - to put in warning that the severity alive, struggling with precipitation as he acted out of a high cliff.

 

[MightyMomma]

Here's a question..
Why would someone want to tattoo something in a language they don't understand or speak fluently, when there are already far too many cases of tattoos in that person's NATIVE language, that are still misspelled or written? Word's "document check" cannot even correct all misuses or spellings of words, if they are relevant as another usage. So, why would we use a shady "translator" program to translate a language we have no knowledge of to permanently mark ourselves? "To, Too, Two"? "You're, Your"? "Shoe, Shoo"? I digress. You all know this. I wonder though, how so many are oblivious?

 

[Matthaeus]

Well, this is a great bane of us. We have been asking ourselves this question for countless aeons now. It is good source of composition for us, though, especially for the newcomers.
