I found this cool web app that lets you drop in a phrase and it will automagically translate back and forth between English and foreign languages up to 56 times. What will happen is it will spit out what's left over after things get lost in translation.

Sometimes you get hilarious results. Post yours here. Be sure to include the original phrase and the number of times it was translated.


I started with the first line from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice:

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

I translated it 56 times to get:

There will be 22, but I am happy all the time.

Um, what?
