Let’s be honest, how many times have you had a Spanish or French assignment that you really did not want to put forth the effort for, and thus just did a quick Google Translate? I have admittedly done that, and have also noticed that sometimes what comes up as translated is not exactly what you wanted. Now imagine what would happen if you took a phrase and translated it from English to some arbitrary language and back; chances are it won’t be exactly what you put in the first time around. That, however, is just the beginning of the fun. Imagine if you were to repeat the process using random languages and translated the phrase to another language and back, 20 or 30 times over. This is exactly what the Ackuna translator, sometimes to hilarious results. For example, the famous Clint Eastwood quote, “You’ve got to ask yourself one question: “‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well, do ya, punk?” translates to “I’m glad you asked, Oh, sorry.” I had a ton of fun just messing around with famous quotes at different settings, so be sure to check it out at the Ackuna website.
This is absolutely genius!
