What happens when an English phrase is translated (by computer, with Babel translator) back and forth between 5 different languages? This interseting website lets you do just that, and the reults are sometimes poetic and often hilarious. Add Chinese, Japanese, and Korean to the mix, and the results are even more distorted than with German, Italian, French, Portuguese, and Spanish.
