Lost in Translation

Humo.jpg
I love my Babelfish widget. Not only is it a wonderful tool for bringing the world together, its shortcomings are often just plain funny.

I found a link to a YBNBY story I’d written on the Dutch site HUMO The Wild Site.

Nog één keer en dan vallen we u er de komende elf maanden niet meer mee lastig: lijstjes! Op de site van het virtuele cultuurmagazine Yes But No But Yes vindt u The 2006 List of Lists of Lists, een - yes! - lijstje met een overzicht van de geestigste en de onnozelste lijstjes die vorig jaar op het internet verschenen.

En neem vooral de moeite om door te klikken op de eigen 'Top Ten YBNBY Stories of the Year': u komt dan bijvoorbeeld terecht bij de -'Top Ten Lady Liplocks'- (de tien beste You Tube-filmpjes waarin meisjes en jonge vrouwen elkaar aflebberen), de 'Top Ten Fart Lighting Videos' (jongelui houden een brandende aansteker bij hun kont terwijl ze - nu ja: kijk gewoon zélf) of een stel video's met dronken celebrities die onbeschaamd uit de bol gaan (namen? P.Diddy, Ashlee Simpson en George W. Bush!).


The Babelfish Dutch-to-English translation:
Time still one and then disturbs we you the coming eleven months no longer: lijstjes! On the site of the virtual cultuurmagazine Yes But No But Yes you find The 2006 trick or trick or trick, - yes! - lijstje with an overview of most and the most foolish lijstjes that previous year on the Internet appeared. And go through especially the effort to click on its own ' top at YBNBY Stories or the Year ': you arrive then for example at -'Top at lady the Liplocks ' - (the ten best You Tube-filmpjes in which little girls and young women each other aflebberen), ' the top at Fart Lighting videos (youngsters keep a burning lighter at their kont whereas them - now yes: look simply zélf) or a couple videos with dronken celebrities which impudently from the ball go (names? P.Diddy, Ashlee Simpson and George W. Bush!).

I’m sure a human translator (which Babelfish can provide) would do a much better job with syntax, homonyms, and nuances, but it wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining! Thanks, HUMO!
