Product Description:

Babelizer is a toy that humorously exposes the inadequacy of machine translation. You type in a phrase, choose a language, and the Babelizer uses the Altavista translation web site to translate between English and your chosen language until the result no longer mutates.

I speak other languages real good.
Je parle l'autre vrai bon de langages.
I speak other good truth about languages.
Je parle l'autre bonne ri au sujet des langages.
I speak the other good truth about the languages.

"I speak other languages real good." isn't correct English in the first place... the application is REALLY good, though.

It just says "java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException" in red in the bar at the bottom of the window when I click on "Translate". Pity, I was looking forward to trying this :-(

I absolutely love this. I put in all these lyrics from old disco tunes to hilarious results. Even something as innocuous as " do the hustle " has become " make quickly ", " do the crowding ", " make the rapidity ", and " make the haste ". Just try " you can ring my bell... "

Hilarious !
