0521WarmUp

Good Morning. Guden Tag. GoddeMorgan--many ways to say the same thing!

The net makes it possible to translate almost anything "instantly."

But are all the translators the same?

Check them out @ http://gabble-on.com/compare-translators/Phase1-research

Translate this quote from the the famous mystery writer, Raymond Chandler:

He looked as inconspicuous as a tarantula on a slice of angel food cake.

Try English to French to Dutch and back to English.

What does it look like on the back end?

Try these translators:

We started out with:

He looked as inconspicuous as a tarantula on a slice of angel food cake.

and ended up with:

They shared also separate air of tarentule on of the wafer of the angels

Some things just get lost in the translation!
