If youve ever used the babel fish (or any other online translator, probably) you've probably noticed that they they onl have one word in each language to translate a given word into. I don't know if that is a very good explanation, so I have an example. After starting in English then going to French then German I got: <blockquote>Quote:<hr> All rested noiseless during one point in time, to long at the jet of Boromir. " it is so-called a small thing, you, this Gollum? Small, but largely in the stupidity. What is it that it occurred from it? Which unfortunate fate at you place?"<hr></blockquote>I started with:<blockquote>Quote:<hr> All sat silent for a while, until at lengh Boromir spoke. "He is a small thing, you say, this Gollu? Small, but great in mischief. What became of him? To what doom did you put him?<hr></blockquote> A couple helpfull links: http://babelfish.altavista.digital.com/babelfish.altavista.digital.com/</a> The babel fish, which is the one that I used to make these translations. And http://www.tranexp.com:2000/InterTranwww.tranexp.com:2000/InterTran</a> which has more languages for more combinations. What's a burrahobbit got to do with my pocket, anyways?</p>Edited by <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000062>burrahob bit</A> at: 7/3/00 2:27:50 pm

I was just playing around with the InterTran one, seeing what would happen as I went through more and more languages, and I would like to suggest that you limit yourself to 4 total languages, at most 5, including English.

Sweet is the sound of falling rain, and the brook that leaps from hill to plain; but better than rain or rippling streams is water hot that smokes and steams. (from the bath song from Crickhollow) Not too hard, fun. Here's another... <blockquote>Quote:<hr> "But just while it has fallen has oscillated the relative whip and the thongs they have knee frustrated and offered approximately of the wizard, dragging you the edge. It has wavered and it fallen, seized vainly you the stone and fact you slide in the abyss. "Pilot it you swindled! " cried and it has been gone."<hr></blockquote> This went Engl.>Ital.>Engl.>Port.>Engl. (then I cleaned out some Italian that had remained). </p>Edited by <A HREF=http://pub12.ezboard.com/ugalpsi.showPublicProfile>galpsi</A> at: 7/3/00 5:00:05 pm |
