We used to do this a bit back when the online translators were even more appallingly inaccurate.
Write something into an online translator. Translate it from English to Korean, then copy and paste it back into the translator and reverse the process. Post your results here. Doing the same thing with other languages produces some interesting results as well.
This is the process on the above paragraph:
Silence will split in on-line interpretation and write. English translate it with from the Korean language, after that conceive to put and same family geometry reverse again in interpretation and the process. Arrange your result from here. That does, also produces the work which is identical has a different language the result which is some fun.
If you want, don't paste the original paragraph and see if we can guess what you're talking about. |

| I used to do something similar for report cards. Take a Korean teacher's comments for a student in a different class, run it through Babel fish and change the name of the student. |

It's soooo much fun making a$$es out of my uni students trying to pass off written assignments from babelfish...I post the best ones around the classroom.
Most don't see the humor in it...I know the good students when they read random papers and laugh. |

Google translate did a pretty good job I think.

Four score and seven years ago our ancestors to this continent ohyeol, conceived in Liberty, a new state to get the proposition that all men are created equal only.
Now, whether or not our nation in a great civil war, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long stand the test of punishment, he said. We met in a big battle - the scene of the war. We dedicate a portion of the scene, the who live here who gave their lives in the country have been the final resting place. It's all we need is a proper fitting.
However, a larger sense, we can not dedicate ... If we can not be sanctified ... We sueopseup this land is holy. The brave men, living and dead, and who's here on the island, fall far above our poor power to add or are sanctified. We're here, but little of the world will see what you were talking about old memories, but they did here, can not forget. It's not our life, here, here, they have advanced so noble is one fight to focus on unfinished work. It is here that we remain ahead of us to focus on a great mission is to - we update these honored dead, their last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve not to give the dead take increased devotion to the cause in vain Out - Guy nation, under God, shall have the freedom of the new birth - and the government: the people, by the people, for the people, not the end of the earth.
