Would one of my articles translated a few times still be boring?

70962 2002-08-15 05:13:00 Actually I think your translation makes more sense than the original...

And to think a poster a while ago wanted a translator for word documents from japanese to english...imagine the output.

"how are you going to do that?"
"ogenki desu ka......"

Actually, I think it would probably create a close facsimile of the pre-sub edited original.... :-)

70964 2002-08-15 05:17:00 Chinese product names that may be victim of backwards and forwards translation via Croatian, German, and Klingon:

Glorious Happines (paintbrushes at $2 shop)

Big and Hairy (barbers in Singapore)

etc.

70968 2002-08-15 05:41:00 I thought we could manage gibberish without artificial aids. Just like parliament.

(Hey -- I managed to make another posting relevant to the thread -- as if that mattered ...).

Or is your setup like Dilberts with your own cubicles ? :)

70970 2002-08-15 05:50:00 I've just reread "Dilbert's Future". It reads like the textbook for our famous "economic reforms". Unfortunately, Scott Adams intended it to be funny . (It is, but ... not when the ideas put into action). Graham L (2)
