  What happens when an English phrase is translated (by computer, with Babel translator) back and forth among five different languages? This interseting website lets you do just that, and the reults are sometimes poetic and often hilarious. Add Chinese, Japanese, and Korean to the mix, and the results are even more distorted than with German, Italian, French, Portuguese, and Spanish.

  "What happens when an English phrase is translated by computer back and forth among a few different languages? Today's translation software is quite good, but it's not equipped for consecutive translations of the same piece of text. Remember the old game of "Telephone"? Something is lost, and perhaps something is gained."
