Let's try something longer.
Like maybe the plot synopsis for Fallout 3 from IMDb.

In a post apocalyptic world, a man leaves the protection of the vault he was raised in to search for his missing father.

And now a huge block of text.

I think I would remember if I had amnesia.
I'd like to remind everyone that half of the time I don't even know what I'm talking about. The other half of the time I only sort of know what I'm talking about.

Original: I am typing some text into the babelizer.  I hope it becomes funnier.

Babelized: I typed the text of babelizer. The point which that compares in order to desire the fact that it becomes strange, I.

There's also Translation Party. Sometimes it also excels at mangling a sentence beyond recognition. Frequently into the exact opposite of the phrase.

"War. War never changes." becomes "War. War has changed."

"Aperture Science. We do what we must, because we can. For the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead."
becomes
"Aperture Science. We do not need to do. If someone died, Dasaarimasen is all."
(it sometimes weirds out and sticks romanised japanese instead of actual translations, but it's no less fun)
(note - Dasa seems to mean "good", so Dasaarimasen is "not good")

Edit: Also, I remembered a real-life one. Once on a gas station, I noticed a sticker advert from some guy selling some stuff. The guy's russian grammar was alright, but he somehow managed to mistype the brand names of things he was selling. Among things he was selling were: A Wed-camera (for online weddings, I presume), an HP Potosmart printer (with a special addon for printing on pottery), and the best device in the group, a SONY Cidershot camera. Yes, Cidershot. I don't know HOW he managed to type it like that. I suppose it either runs on cider, or it works like an advanced version of beer goggles.

My dad was reading a book on boating by some guy, and he was mentioning this one brand of Scandinavian paint which he really liked.  Gotten paint.

He referenced it several times, and even provided a website URL, 'Gotten.com' (or similar).


He was, of course, referring to Jotun paints.  Jotun, as in the giants of Norse mythology?

I still have no idea how he managed to get that wrong.  I mean, it's even pronounced YO-tun.  Nothing to do with Gotten.

Original text: Has anything ever done something to make nothing do anything?

Comes out as: What is your what?
