It is less likely to get confused and do the engurishu azu rongu worutsu thing if you use perfectly correct grammar. Finish with a period and remember your apostrophes. That being said...

Strike the earth, ere the cougars arrive!

Strike the ground, the cougars finally arrived!

Finally, the cougars broke the ground.

Out:Urist Hall, died of thirst to kill him 15 goblins.

In: The weak shall be culled, so the strong can have nicer socks.

Out:Because the weak must be sacrificed to have a knee-high socks.

In: Why is Urist so stupid?

Out: Urist something stupid, why?

In: Nobles suffer unfortunate accidents.

Out: Aristocracy, has been plagued by an unfortunate accident.

In: The forums are made of magma. They menace with spikes of flame and logic.

Out: Forum has been made of magma. Their logic is a threat of fire or spikes.

So much entertainment packed into one little language.

I put in, from someone's quote on the first or second page:
"Whatever horrible, horrible event happened to earn it that name, I hope it happened to an elf."

And received a few translations down the first slightly coherent bit of comedy:
"My Elf name[,] what [a] terrifying event, we have encountered a serious causeproblem, or want to get it."

And finally ending with:
"What a terrible event, we will specify the name of my elves whether to get serious cause for your cause."

I then put in:
"Cave-in dust can cause a vacuum-like effect and pull creatures into holes." (Not entirely true I suppose, but whatever)
And received:
"The pull may lead to a vacuum-like effect of dust from the hole in the cave of life."
which seems fairly perverted to me.

"a short, sturdy creature fond of drink and industry"

typically, this phrase couldn't reach equilibrium .

it just cycled between

Short-lived large-scale industrial and other beverages
and

I accidentally modded in two Tyrannosaurs, and now I have alligators living in houses!

I mod 2 of two crocodiles lived in the house Tyrannosaurs happen!

Tyrannosaurs the crocodile family lived in two I mod 2 is generated!

Tyrannosaurs mod my family lived in two crocodiles are generated 2!

Tyrannosaurs mods are my family, the life of the two crocodiles, which are generated by two!

Tyrannosaurs remodeling of my family, life in the two crocodiles generated by two!

Tyrannosaurs family is generated by two changes of life of two crocodiles!

(Which, oddly enough, sounds like another consequence of duplicate raws.)

IN: Dwarves are as industrious as they are drunk.

OUT:
As dwarf, if you are drunk, will be hard work.
As a dwarf, a lot of work has been drinking.
As a dwarf, has been drinking a lot of work.

This seems appropriate.

IN: Magma is the answer to all of Dwarf Fortress's problems.

OUT:
Magma Castle dwarf answered all the questions.
Magma Castle, dwarfing all questions answered.
(Did not reach equilibrium :| )

#3
IN:The forgotten beast's blood has melted my eyeballs off!

OUT:
I melted my eyes off of animal blood to forget!
I forgot your eyes melt from the blood of animals!
I'm your eyes, melted away from the blood of animals!
I'm your eyes, it is the blood of animals that I melted!

...from debilitating disease to superpower...


All in all, very interesting.

'stop trying to take their socks urist you'll get killed'

becomes

'Urist is killed trying to get your socks'

Surprising amount of sense, there.

'Magma is the universal solvent, not water.'

Becomes

'Magma, water is not a universal solvent.'

'Urist McStupid cancels grab sock: stabbed by Goblin Pikeman.'

Becomes

'Goburinpaikuman bites: Urist McStupid grab the socks will be canceled.'

O.o

IN:

Dwarves find they necrotic dust and magma are fun to step in. In the Dwarven sense.

OUT:

Dust does not need to log in to avoid the appearance of necrotic magma you please see me. Should be reduced.

In: Why would I be on fire, silly?
Out: Why would I be foolish to fire you?

In: I'll have a side of magma with my doom, please.
Out: I'll have both sides of the magma your destiny.
I imagine that like a court scene, except with your destiny instead of your honor.

In: Pull the lever of death and doom, Urist!
Out: Death is destiny, Urist, pull the lever!
Further out: The fate of death, Urist is pull the lever!
