Tradutor Malvado

Um dos brinquedinhos de internet que mais tem me divertido ultimamente é o Bad Translator. A ferramenta funciona assim: você coloca um texto (em inglês) e ele usa o tradutor automático do google para traduzir para outra língua e de volta para o inglês, e faz isso quantas vezes você escolher (de 10, 20, 30, 40, 50) até 54 vezes, que é o número de línguas para as quais o google traduz. Os resultados são, no mínimo, interessantes, lembrando a brincadeira do telefone sem fio. É curioso notar que, quanto maior o número de traduções, a mensagem inicial vai ficando mais reduzida à sua essência.

Um exemplo de como funciona:
Texto digitado: The book is on the table:
AFRIKAANS : Die boek is op die tafel
