Another way to produce mistranslations is to take quote of some translated piece (here is the Russian one), and translate it back into the language of the original. Once we (me and several of my friends) have had lot of fun thus translating verses to and fro. So, I’m well pleased to present to your attention the quote below:

Ok try this mangled tranlsation: <blockquote>Quote:<hr> Do ain't something of bone-pate you tin backing she in the name of all wonder do not touch this say furrier anew as lank as you I'm with z hundred mile vis-a-vis thereof bear, not rug, headland, tippet, coupling not as unlike such unfrequented say. <hr></blockquote> I swear, that's how it came out. </p> |

Greek kudos. The original quote was Gandalf to Bilbo before entering Beorn's house (about not using the word "furrier" etc.), which I translated from english to Russian to Polish back to eEglish, thereby destroying all remaining meaning. </p> |

Correct. as for a 'translation', mea culpa, I just replaced the words a bit so to mask the real quote.

Is that Bilbo to Dori, trying to clarify his "piece of bacon" comment about how it feels to be carried by an eagle? The original English being, "O no! Not a bit like storks - forks, I mean"?

Yep! That's it. From English to Chinese and back to English. I like how "sir" translates to "husband".
