Translation and translation of web pages in different languages

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

54 translations later:

Indeed, freedom and happiness of life, vadogovadogo.

I believe what we have here is the rarely heard Mel Torme "scat" version of the Declaration of Independence.

Apparently that translates to "Spoke at the meeting, or I quit." :hmmm:

"My nipples explode with delight!" = "Joy restless export"

Reminds me of:

Prisoner: There's a message through the grapevine, Johnny.
Johnny Dangerously: Yeah? What is it?
Prisoner: Johnny and the Mothers are playing "Stompin' at the Savoy" in Vermont tonight.
Johnny Dangerously: Vermin's going to kill my brother at the Savoy theater tonight.
Prisoner: I didn't say that.
Johnny Dangerously: No, but I know this grapevine.

Reminds me of my days in tech support. It was interesting getting tickets that had been submitted by customers who didn't speak the language.

"hello, I have serious and enormous problems with the server that I finish contracting by the electronic mail, the POP MailEnable Service is extinguished suddenly and I cannot receive the post office, I do not have any idea of because it passes this, and it is urgent to me because I am losing clients of immediate form"

or

"I am Bravo to accustom in computer IP, but but task United States antenna Italy rows badly time!"

Thank you for downloading the latest version of the LWAMI Advanced Capabilities Mod. This Mod expands on and improves the Dangerous Waters (DW) database and doctrine files. The purpose of this mod is, straightforwardly, to address the aspects of DW game-play that most bother the mod team, while improving the simulation experience and fixing bugs--without introducing any new ones.

Its gets more awsome!

"With the addition of the Yu-7, YJ-83, and 054A- and 053C-class warships, the PLAN has become much more dangerous in all respects. Do not expect easy opposition from PLAN units anymore."
...25 translations later we get:
"Internet 7-83-054a y_ ships and medium-053C and most dangerous part of the project, including Explorer -. I hope this is only the Mediterranean Action Plan."

Apparently this translator is a Hugh Laurie fan...

"A “man overboard” object has been added. This is just a guy in an orange life vest, waiting to be plucked out of the water."
...25 translations later we get:
""Others", House said. This guy is just Coat orange, water demand is expected."
