Ever played with Translation Party? In a nutshell, it takes what you enter in English and translates it back and forth from Japanese until either the translations stabilize or they hit an infinite loop. I decided to try with the episode titles...

(Note: I'm only including the interesting ones here. Some didn't change at all, or dropped a "The" or a plural became singular, or it turned into a meaningless transliteration. Sometimes a change in capitalization made a difference, but I've left out most of the boring alternatives of those, too.)


The Tearing <-> Tearing but the tearing <-> Tia (I can't imagine why!)
Racing the Clock <-> Racing Watches but racing the clock <-> 24
Quick and the Fed <-> FRB will be released soon but quick and the fed <-> Supply and rapid
medusa bug <-> Bugs and jellyfish
The Tiff <-> Crook but The TIFF <-> TIFF format
in the belly of the beast <-> Angry animals
Wizards, Warriors, and a Word from Our Sponsor <-> Wizard, Terra, and Word, consists of many Koreans in South Korea but wizards, warriors, and a word from our sponsor <-> Word Wizard is the sponsor of the Samurai
Identity Crisis part 1 <-> One single identity crisis
Identity Crisis part 2 <-> Twice identity crisis / Identity crisis 2 times (infinite loop)

Infected <-> Infectious
Painted Windows <-> Used - Windows is Paint but painted windows <-> Pre-painted window
trust no one <-> Trust 1
Web World Wars <-> World War one Web

To Mend and Defend <-> To repair is to protect but to mend and defend <-> Repair, to protect
Where No Sprite Has Gone Before <-> Here, before the sprite, not melted but where no sprite has gone before <-> Here, in front of the sprite
The Episode With No Name <-> Everyone talking
The Edge of Beyond <-> Outer edge
Web Riders on the Storm <-> The Storm Riders Web
Showdown <-> Confrontation
System Crash <-> System crashes
End Prog <-> Holding ends but end prog <-> prog-end ("end program" translates as itself)

Daemon rising <-> Daemon rise (If you put in "demon rising" you get "Rising, the devil")
What's Love Got to Do With It? <-> Like me? but What's love got to do with it? <-> I hope so?
Life's a Glitch... <-> Glitch in the life of ...
Null Bot of the Bride <-> Null values are values of bot Bride
Crouching Binome, Hidden Virus <-> Wo Binome, non-viral


Some of these, especially the ones with the most drastic changes of meaning, went through a lot of interesting steps in between; I recommend taking a look for yourself.

Haha I think I like this thread. Gotta say the one that made me crack up most was the translation of that end of Season 3 song. Yet more reason to know that online translators aren't so great.

Oh man this line has been running through my head all day at work... let's give it a try.

"Talon the dispatcher...high talon of the seventh brotherhood...come now"



transforms into


Come Alanbertn sender ... Paw high seventh brotherhood ...


does someone know what an Alanbertn sender is?

Uh. "Sender" = "dispatcher", that's clear. I have no idea what the other thing is, it doesn't even look like a poor transliteration. Try it with different capitalization and/or punctuation and see what happens.

hm wow that actually worked I took out all the capitalization and it came out the same both ends... damn, now it's not as funny

I tried with the Bob's phrase of the ReBoot 1st season intro and this is what I got:

Original phrase:
"I come from the Net, through systems, peoples and cities to this place, Mainframe. My format: Guardian, to mend and defend, to defend my new found friends, their hopes and dreams, to defend them from, their enemies"

Result 1:
"I'm from the Internet, systems, people and this place, come through the city to the mainframe. My format: Guardian to repair, defend, and my new friends, to protect their hopes and dreams, to protect them from their enemies"

Result 2:
"I have the Internet, systems, people, this place, the mainframe is that it comes through the city. My format: Guardian, defend, and my new friends, to protect their hopes and dreams, to repair them to protect them from enemy"

Result 3:
"I have the Internet system, people, this place is a main frame is attached to the city. My format: Guardian, and my new friends, and to protect their hopes and dreams, keep them to repair to protect them from enemy"

Result 4:
"I have an Internet system, people, this place is attached to the main frame around the city. My format: Guardian, and my new friend, hope to protect their dreams, to repair to keep to protect them from enemy"

Result 5:
"I, people are connected to the mainframe in the city where this system exists on the Internet. My format: Guardian is to protect the dream of my new friends, to repair and maintain hope to protect them from enemy"

Result 6:
"I have people in the main frame, the system will be connected to exist on the Internet. My format: Guardian, and repair to protect the dream of my new friends, maintain and is expected to protect them from enemy"

Result 7:
"And the system is connected to my presence on the Internet is gathered in the main frame. My format: Guardian, repairs to protect the dream of my new friends, maintain, and is expected to protect them from enemy"

Result 8:
"And there on the Internet for this system, the collection will be connected to the mainframe. My format: Guardian, repair, and is expected to protect them from the enemy to protect the dream of my new friends and maintain"

Result 9:
"And this system is on the Internet, the collection will be connected to the mainframe. My format: Guardian to repair, protect them and to protect the dream of my new friends from the enemy, is expected to maintain

Result 10:
"And this system is on the Internet, the collection will be connected to the mainframe. My format: Guardian, to repair and protect them, to protect the dream of my new friends from enemies, it is expected to maintain"

Result 11:
"And this system is on the Internet, the collection will be connected to the mainframe. My format: Guardian, to repair, to protect them from the enemy, to keep it to protect the dream of my new friends"

Result 12:
"And this system is on the Internet, the collection will be connected to the mainframe. My format: Guardian, to protect them from enemies, it is to repair to protect the dream of keeping my new friend"

Until the end of the page, there's almost another 14 results, this message appeared:
"It is doubtful that this phrase will ever reach equilibrium."
