Okay, so here's how the game works.
Go into google translator and come up with a completely random story a paragraph or two long.

This is mine:
Once upon a time there was a gay hamster named skippy. Skippy liked other gay hamsters. He also enjoyed pudding. One time he went into a bank and was disgruntled. He decided to take out guns and and throw them at the wall. People looked at him rather strangely, but he kept doing it anyway. An Australian person came in and threw a piece of insulation at the gay hamster and then the hamster was pissed of so it went to a restaurant across the street so that he could eat food. He got food and rubbed it about his body and then ran into the kitchen and grabbed all the knives and spun them around on the ground until they caught on fire and then he was happy and went home and fell asleep in the oven when it was off.

Now pick a random language to translate it into. Take the translated story and copy that back into the translation box and pick another random language (auto detect on the left, whatever language you want on the right). Repeat as many times as you want. When you're done, translate it back into English and post the result.
(include original story and translated one)

Wtf I went through like 7 languages and it changed one word.

Probably has something to do with the complexity of the word.

Oh wait, I forgot to try any Asian languages. I did polish and romanian and danish and stuff.

One question: Who is Phone?

One question: Who is Phone?
by telephone I meant the game where you sit in a circle and pass a message around, and the story will sometimes get messed up. This is a similar thing, except with languages.

A man goes out and opens his mailbox then shuts it,
He does it again 5 minutes later,
the 3rd time a neighbor comes over and asks "whatre you doing?"
the man says,my computer says i have mail.

It's obviously implied that the voice was that of a male.

Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith:
When the division of labour has been once thoroughly established, it is but
a very small part of a man's wants which the produce of his own labour can
supply. He supplies the far greater part of them by exchanging that surplus
part of the produce of his own labour, which is over and above his own
consumption, for such parts of the produce of other men's labour as he has
occasion for. Every man thus lives by exchanging, or becomes, in some
measure, a merchant, and the society itself grows to be what is properly a
commercial society.

In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa . . .
Da läuft so manches Fäßchen aus:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa . . .
Da hat so manche braver Mann:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa . . .
Gezeigt was er so vertragen kann
Schon früh am Morgen fing er an
Und spät am Abend kam er heraus
So schön ist's im Hofbräuhaus.

Google did a lamentable job.
