Babel

This website, Lost In Translation, will take your English phrase, translate it to two other languages, one right after the other, then back to English. Confused yet? See here:

Original English Text:
I wish I had a boy to kiss and call my own.

Translated to French:
Je souhaite que j'aie eu un garçon pour embrasser et appeler mes propres.

Translated back to English:
I wish that I have a boy to embrace and call my clean.

Translated to German:
Ich wünsche, daß ich einen Jungen habe, zum mein sauberes zu umfassen und zu benennen.

Translated back to English:
I require that I have a boy to cover and designate to my clean.

Other fun ones:

This:

Into each generation a Slayer is born, one girl in all the world, a Chosen One, one born with the strength and skill to hunt the vampires with the strength and skill to hunt the vampires, to stop the spread of their evil

becomes:

In each production in all they take to an assassin, a girl, selected,
taken with the resistance and the authority, the vampires with the
resistance and the authorities the proven one, in the vampires the
proven one, the end of the order to arrest to the diffusion
(atomizaton) of his malvagità.


This:


Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose

becomes:

The freedom leaves sufficient a other word for anything with
destroying ignition
