You are in: RLNYH > Business ClubLanguage News You know how machine translations are just wrong, wrong, wrong?  

Well, to 'emulate' sites such as Babelfish and other machine based translators (which we all know are ridiculously inaccurate), a site has been set up that translates your text into another language, and then back into English, so you can see just how (humorously) bad they are! 

My favourite example is the translation from English into Dutch and back to English of "We're sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialled" which becomes "We are sad, can your question be completed but not twisted?". For funnier (and naughtier) examples of how appalling these things can be, visit www.blahblahfish.com.
