So, I was watching Google Translate Sings on YouTube, and I had a great idea for a game.

Basically, what you do is take a quote from a book, movie, TV show, or anything else really, and put it through five or six different languages in Google Translate, than back to English and see how ridiculous it is. Post the original quote here and what it's from, and then put the Google Translate version! Have fun!

I'll start. :D

Original Quote: "I'm definitely a madman with a box!" - the Doctor from Doctor Who.

After Google Translate: "I certainly is crazy wardrobe!"
We're all stories in the end.

I think of you as a fairy with a green dress and a flower crown and stuff.

I think you, @Deanie and I are like the Three Book Nerd Musketeers of YWS.

Spoiler
Happy Cooks Thyme fly.
We are who we are, and if someone has a problem with that; that's their problem not ours.

No man, no matter how great, can know his destiny. (From Merlin.)

Any man, however great, can know his fate.

Erm, no they can't. XD

The original: "The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant." from Doctor Who

After translations: "As I see it, there is a great deal in the goods and evils of life. Always he got rid of the hurt of the goods, the goods and evils that he will never be destroyed."

"It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead"


...in my opinion, one of the best lyrics ever, becomes...


"So instead of cursing the darkness, it is difficult to have a candlelight"
Dreams sprout tall so beautiful
to wither and fall off
Old and dusty, creaky and rough
This clockwork will not rest

My original sentence was: "Even a stopped clock is right twice a day." (from Behemtoh by Scott Westerfeld).

After a few rounds of translation, it became:

So stop looking right twice a day.

Completely different meaning.
if we wait until we're ready
we'll be waiting
for the rest of our lives

"Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

After several rounds with the Japanese and Kazakh translators (not sure why I chose the Kazakh but I think that was what completely changed it)

"Monitor treasure your heart SE, where it exists."
Live well. Learn lots. Question everything.

Original: Everything happens for a reason.

Google's Version: All things happen for a reason.

Wow, I'm quite surprised at how close it came.

"All good things come to those who wait."

Google:

"Waiting for all the good things."

Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. - Dumbledore

After translation, making total sense is -

This treasure , even if your mind .
If Novels are a bucket of imagination, Short story is a bucket of imagination made to fit a mug.

Went with: "Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries."

Ended up with: Bilahrček (She hamster) your mother, father or her the elderberries. Slovenian was what got caught and carried through the translator. To back-translate, I had to separate Bilahrček into Bila hrček.
