How about we make this a combo thread for the TranslationParty as well? It comes up with good ones of its own. My favorite was a while back (before the translator got refined, probably), when I put a part of the text from Total Annihilation's intro into it. The text, for the unenlighted, goes like this:
What began as a conflict over the transfer of consciousness from flesh to machine, escalated into a war which has decimated a million worlds. The Core and the Arm have all but exhausted the resources of a Galaxy in their struggle for domination. Both sides now crippled beyond repair, the remnants of their armies continue to battle on ravaged planets, their hatred fueled by over four thousand years of total war. This is a fight to the death. For each side, the only acceptable outcome is the complete elimination of the other.
(and yes, I typed it all from memory)
The result was a mishmash of odd phrases, amidst which were mentions of an imminent oil crisis should the US military attempt to control the starving galaxy. I posted it somewhere, but can't for the life of me find it.
For the sake of experiment, I'll feed this text to the T-Party now and see what happens (the Bad Translator locked up on me).
Our war machine, manages the transfer of thousands of body awareness you need to start thinning your competitive world. The fight, you can control all the other arms of the galaxy core of a lack of resources. Currently, in 4000, both in total war, and to support the fault permanent, and will continue to fight remnants of his army to destroy the earth. This is a fight to the death. Each side will remove the only other acceptable results entirely.
Not as fun, but oh well.
Btw, "Lost In Translation" is the other name for the
Babelizer, a tool not unlike the Bad Translator, but using the Babelfish service instead of Google Translate. Its take on the above snip is thus:
Something, of that adds the war, obtains 1 million dirty worlds in the knowledge of the atendimentos of the Schlafes like the opposition for the unit of the period of the exit of the meat. The memory and the handspike had released the rule of the pass away-number of the resources of the galaxy of the fight. If now the service of the repairs is exceeded, his I supplement in the extremity will be transformed into all the two of the incapacity of the group to continue to the destruction fighting, because to the planet of the fuel its aversion the order the end to fix and to fight 4000 of each possible interior. Balance in this with the inoperative women. Due to each extremity that receives only the possible result is complete other abolitions.
