The hidden art of Google translation revealed!
This has to come with a warning – “don’t try it at work, it’s addictive”. But by all means try it at home! Translation Party is a site that seeks out the inner truth and artistic heart of any English phrase. Just type in your phrase, and it will automatically use Google translation to hop between English and Japanese until it finds equilibrium – a common representation that no longer changes on successive translation.
Give it a go – it seems to work well with song titles and catch phrases. For example, “All’s well that ends well” becomes “To terminate the common interest of all”.
This is clearly a pioneering web site, or as James T. Kirk so aptly described his mission: “In front of him, please go to the bold.”
