Cinefactus, should mods and myself snip out obvious machine translations in translation requests?
It is a difficult question. I usually try to avoid altering any post. On the other hand I don't think it is a good idea to have the mistranslation archived by Google as then it can become 'truth'.
Here is an example of a very bad translation of Romulus and Remus using Google Translate being passed off as homework: THREAD: romulus-and-remus-google-translate-epic-fail
I know what it doesn't translate to:
"What you give is what you get".
You've already received a perfectly good translation of that phrase on this forum.
"quis vos tribuo est quis vos adepto" seems like some nonsense produced by a machine translator.

You are quite right Dantius. It comes from the worst of all machine translators.
Pedicabo eam
I have put this here, because it is both hilarious and a horrible warning.
Rather than meaning f*** it, it actually means, "I will f*** her up the arse".
If you have tattooed yourself with this mistranslation, please feel free to upload a picture.

If we take it as implying vitam meam it sort of works, lol.
So, while watching a video on a cybersecurity contest, I noticed that one of the announcer's shirts had some Latin written on it...
I could tell straight away that it was meant to mean that, but it seemed like the sort of garbage Google would produce so I figured I'd post it.
