This is a thread where we work with online translation programs. Because from your own language to translate to another language you get some funny results. For English speakers can probably only through a detour first translation from English into another language, and then back again. As you can see I use the translation program now al  Maybe we can do in the thread on important issues, like the problem is often the subtleties of what you have to say lost in translation. Take for example what I have written. In Dutch it all sounds subtle  , but if I let it translate with a translation program saves it as a bar on a pig.  Maybe we can even do test translation program. That could be fun! But it need not be serious, though. You may also think of something nice! Just do it! Enjoy! |

A series of originally Finnish poems I wrote for school, translated with Google Translate. Some of the words were left untranslated, I translated them myself in brackets. The dual contact geometry (elementary) Intersecting planes rub against each other one reminds me of your hair. Connecting them (the hair) vakaahkoksi [into a fairly stable] haircut (this is inevitable), suspended toimeni [my actions] rigid needle. Neither of us can not see where it hits. And when we put in the space arc, ronkimme [we poke] headlong to its content. Do not lean against Mars Oven, Anniina! Beware the blade! One-eyed idea of being swallowed up by the vacuum cleaner faster than the arbitrarily chosen gray gull glide over the calm sea. Why run to a remote flash? When the cover material, it becomes stronger enough ceiling. Wood does not conduct electricity, and wood-burning stove lead sähköhellaan [to an electric stove] (necessarily). But the walls of a rectangular stage is only one (the back) or even that the cabinet's length away. Banana-shaped boomerang Chilipähkinäni [my chili nuts] pack, comb shoelace and crash out of the door. Accordion. The third time today, even if that is what the cloud clinging to power management. I assume that the asphalt lasts without the weight. |

I once had a mailing list to which I would translate famous songs throughout many languages and then send it to them, and the first correct answerer gets an e-cookie, or more than one cookie. Depends on the difficulty. ------------- http://www.formspring.me/Aragorn224" rel="nofollow - Trendsetter win! The search for nonexistent perfection. |
