Oh internet translation software, when will you learn.
« on: December 22, 2011, 05:00:43 pm »

Translated to Russian and then back again, The latest DF Development feed

12/21/2011 I have made materials of a door and preparation of a wood of a case and a designation of questions which I mentioned. Now we shall see, how long it is required to pass through division of the creature and treasure and a thing downwards below. I have given me two days of that to remain on the move for date in the middle of January, but it, alongside with service of a card and optimization and тварями subsidizings, is one of seats where I see Some potential reduction, and also levels it to holiday festivals. In any case, it is the current project. There are criminals, house, underground people of animals and underground of animals, in addition to tombs with disturbable тварями, and they everyone will require their seat to an essence, that they will not see each other and to receive all denying each time, you do purchases above.


Compare with:
12/21/2011  I did the door materials and event logging and naming issues I mentioned. Now we'll see how long it takes to get through dividing up the critters and treasures and things down below. I had given myself two days for that in order to stay on track for a date in mid-January, but this, along with map maintenance and optimization and sponsorship critters, is one of the places where I see some potential slippage, and it also aligns with the holiday festivities. In any case, that's the current project. There are criminals, kobolds, subterranean animal peoples and beasts underground, in addition to tombs with disturbable critters, and they will all need their space to the point that they won't see each other and get all negative every time you are shopping up above.

Feel free to translate stuff to stuff and then to other stuff and back again, then post the results here so I may be entertained.

edit--
I like how it translated critters to something untranslatable, and sponsorship was translated to subsidizings.

That's almost readable.  I just think it's funny that it's able to translate to something it can't translate back to.

Makes me want to go find that Jive Google translation thing again...

Huh. I was going to link to Translation Party, but it's totally busted. I wonder how long it's been like this.

The link I provided is multi language and has the option to use Google translation, among others.
But it is less than 500 characters, so I had to split mine in half.

A musical director was having a lot of trouble with one drummer. He talked and talked and talked with the drummer, but his performance simply didn't improve.
Finally, before the whole orchestra, he said, "When a musician just can't handle his instrument and doesn't improve when given help, they take away the instrument, and give him two sticks, and make him a drummer."
A stage whisper was heard from the percussion section: "And if he can't handle even that, they take away one of his sticks and make him a conductor."

The bartender yells at him to leave, saying, "We don't serve your kind here!"
The mushroom replies, "Why not?  I'm a fun guy."
