translationparty.com: Game. Fucking. On.

𝌐 mcgees.org has had mega-fun with automatic translators; first Babelfish with holiday cheer, then (unsolved) puzzles with Google Translate.

Now here comes translationparty.com, doing one thing and doing it well: in and out of Japanese (always a fun language for translators) until equilibrium is reached.

I was ecstatic when I found a stable oscillator (order 2), but it turns out those are quite common (even if the site doesn’t recognize that it’s stable at order > 1.)  Then I found an order 4!  A→B→C→D→A.  Here it is, with thanks to Eddie Izzard.

OK!  Beat that!  Game on!

(No one is going to play, is he?  Then I will be very :-(  )

    Three site quotes that may have been improved by Translation Party:

    When feeling tired, I can not believe it is clear

    I scream all unnecessary

    Similarly, the body of the machine, to earn enough money to feel warm

    Was…was this english? LOL

    Careful.  I’m about to scream all unnecessary.  (I can’t even remember what site quotes morphed into those three translation-assisted quotes.  Should have made a note of that, I think.  I think the middle one was “With all the dying trees I scream” [Anthony Kiedis].  What happened to the trees?  WTF?!  Ohwaitnevermind Bush administration.)
