Earleir today I was alerted to the fun that could be had with Google Language Tools. I've been translating stuff ever since. So far my favorite is the opening line from a Dickens classic that anyone who has read this blog knows makes me cringe.
Here it is, my favorite line in all of literature - "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." It was translated into chinese, then back to english, then into german, french, and finally back into english to get this gem - "This one is best time, is to him the bad weather."
I can't wait to read the rest of the book!
