Bay 12 translator Game
« on: May 20, 2012, 02:55:56 pm »

Players translate a sentence from one language to another they know, people look as hilarious miscommunications unfold.

Rules:
-Common sense
-Grammar
-Stay close to the meaning of the sentence
-Free translations are preferred to unintelligible ones
-The same sentence is translated over and over again
-Google translate is fun, though tends to mangle things up. Feel free to translate things yourself.

Sentence:
Slaves to Armok: God of Blood, Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress is a free indie game made by 2 brothers, Tarn(Toady One) and Zach(Three Toe). It's renowned for being complex and hard to learn. In the game the players controls the life in a dwarven fortress from it's founding to it's eventual demise.

O_o...

I'll start off with a tough nut to crack with Google Translate, Korean.

Armok 의 노예들 : 피의 신, 제 2장: 난쟁이 요새는 두명의 형제, Tarn (Toady One) 과 Zach (Three Toe)가 만든 인디 게임이다. 이 게임은 복잡하고 배우기 어렵기로 유명하다. 게임 속에서 플레이어들은 난쟁이들의 요새를 요새 창설부터 궁극적인 결말까지 모든 것을 조종한다.


Actually, I think I did a pretty easy job there: GT more or less managed to not mangle it.

Now for some Spanish (Google Translated):

Armok de los esclavos: Dioses de sangre, Parte 2: fortaleza enana, dos hermanos, Tarn (Toady uno) y Zach (tres del dedo del pie) es creado por juego indie. Este juego es conocido como un complejo y difícil de aprender. Los jugadores en el juego, la fortaleza enana, la fortaleza de todo lo que la creación de tomar el control de la terminación definitiva.

I love Google Translate: It did pretty good this time.

Into Urdu with google translate:

بندوں کے Armok: خون خدا کی، حصہ 2: بونا کلی، دو بھائیوں، Tarn (ایک چاپلوس) اور Zach (تین پیر) indie کھیل سے پیدا ہوتا ہے. اس کھیل کو ایک جاننے کے پیچیدہ اور مشکل کے طور پر جانا جاتا ہے. اس کھیل میں کھلاڑیوں، حتمی برطرفی کی ہے کہ تمام مخلوق کے مضبوط گڑھ بونا قلعہ، کنٹرول سنبھال لیا

Just gotta love Google. It translated 'god' (신) as 'new' (also 신).

Castle is similar to fortress in meaning, I suppose...

Google Translate: Latin!

Puncta Armok: New sanguis, Part II: nanum Arce, duo fratres, Tarn (parasiti) et Zack (tres pedes) indie ludum creata. Complexu et difficile ludum est notum. Histriones in hoc ludum, abstulit ultimus ultimum munitiones nanum creatura occupavit arcem.

was rather hoping it'd muck with word order a little more :(

We need to try to alternate language families- that should help.

Also, you MUST actually know the language for it to change a lot.
Just Googling it back and forth won't help. For example, Korean and Spanish have reverse verb orders and stuff. Some languages have multiple meanings (like 'that' possibly being both que or ese) which only come into effect without a translater.

Just my 2 cents.

Let me try my hand at this...

Slaves a Armok:Dia na Fola, Caibidil II: Is Dwarf Fortress cluiche indie saor in aisce. Rinne dhá deartháireacha, Tarn(Toady a hAon)agus Zach(TríLadhar). Tá sé clú agus cáil as a bheith casta agus deacair a foghlaim. Sa cluiche, rialaíonn na himreoirí an saol i dún dwarven ó bhunú atá a demise deireadh.

NOTE: The language is Irish. I'm only learning but I fixed Google's translation where I could so it should be relatively accurate.

Did you translate the previous poster, or the  OP? The point of the game is to get some telephone translation effect.
