lobelia321: (sga sheppard wraith)
[personal profile] lobelia321
So I'm going, as I said earlier, to post my wraith fic tomorrow. At least, that's the plan. And then, it occurred to me to post a teaser passage, translated into a foreign language and back-translated into English by google-translate. This is entirely inspired by Isiscolo's babelfishes!

*winks at [livejournal.com profile] isiscolo



From English to Arabic and back:
"This is" the ghost said, who moved to the more than John aspect of the Thicket, "Your reproductive organ?"

"Yes," said John. He was naked. He did not particularly like the ghost looking at his office in the genitals, but then again, as he does not particularly mind, at the present time, and he acted in an attempt to withdraw the bark fibers of the largest trunk of the tree, for use in the manufacture of jellyfish net.

The ghost sat down in front of John and peered at his office in the Crotch.

"Do you mind?" Said John. "I mean, I know we have in the past have gone the wrong way humility, but there really such a thing as privacy." But what happened after that that figure probably was not that feeling at all. Why can mean privacy and perhaps to a cell bees account?

Without warning, opened fire on the ghost bypass Mmsd and tongue and that in addition to Jones Parry Deek.

"Oh!" John shouted and jumped backwards.

Slipped from the tongue.

"What the fuck," said John.

"I used to Mate?" The ghost unfavourable as if nothing had happened.


From English to Russian and back:
"This is," said wraith, who moved over John copse side ", your reproductive organs?"

"Yes," says John. He was naked. He did not particularly like wraith exploring his genitals, but then again, he does not particularly mind, and at the time, he diverted, trying to pull bark fibers from the top of the tree trunk, for use in the manufacture of jellyfish net.

Wraith hunkered down in front of John and peered at his crotch.

"How do you think?" said John. "I mean, I know we have gone past false modesty, but in fact there is such thing as privacy." But then it occurred in his opinion wraith, probably was not such feelings at all. What can mean a personal life, perhaps str mean?

Without warning, wraith shot from his prehensile tongue and stroked him on cock-Jones gave birth.

"Hey!" John yelped and jumped back.

Language slipped off.

"What to fuck," says John.

"You can use this mat?" said, wraith, as if nothing untoward had occurred.


From English to German:
"Das", sagte der Wraith hatte bewegt sich in John's Seite des Wäldchen ", ist Ihre reproduktive Orgel?"

"Ja", sagte John. Er war nackt. Er ist nicht besonders gut gefällt die Wraith Blick auf seine Genitalien, dann aber wieder, er hat auch nicht besonders Geistes, und in dem Moment war er abgelenkt, versucht zu ziehen Rinde Faser aus der Spitze eines Baumstammes, auf den Einsatz in die Herstellung einer Qualle netto.

Die Wraith hunkered nach unten vor John und Gegenzugvereinbarungen an seinem Schritt.

"Do you mind?" sagte John. "Ich meine, ich weiß, wir haben Weg gegangen Vergangenheit falsche Bescheidenheit, aber es ist tatsächlich so etwas wie Privatsphäre." Doch dann fiel es ihm, dass die Wraith wahrscheinlich hatte keine solche überhaupt Sinn. Was könnte möglicherweise die Privatsphäre bedeuten, dass ein Bienenstock Geist?

Ohne Vorwarnung, die Wraith Schuss aus seiner prehensile Zunge und streichelte es auf der John's nackten Schwanz.

"Hey!" John yelped und sprang zurück.

Die Zunge rutschte aus.

"What the fuck", sagte John.

"Sie verwenden diese zu mate?" , sagte der Wraith, als ob nichts unerwünschte hatte aufgetreten.

*howls with some more laughter*

or rather

"The howitzer compared to in small quantity in laugh" (English to Korean and back)

or maybe

"Already screaming voice of a little laughter" (English to Japanese and back)

God, I had forgotten how much fun babelfish is...

Hilarious! I love:

"He did not particularly like the ghost looking at his office in the genitals"

Well, who can blame him! An office in the genitals is hardly something you'd want to advertise, is it? Or maybe you would? You could rent it out.

I now want to translate all my fic, but I must go to bed!

Fic translate very addictive. Especially when it comes out different interpretation, depending on the language!

P.S. I love your babelfish-reverse-translation idea!! 'tis genius! Arabic seems to produce the most outlandish results. German was too boringly faithful. I think once the element of non-Roman script is factored in, the whole thing just gets taken to another level. ;-)

Russian and Greek were the best for my purposes, I think, although in translating due South it's useful to know that one of the characters' names, "Vecchio," means "old" in Italian, so using Italian for passages which named him resulted in entertaining phrases such as It was not involved nothing to do with Old know everything that apparently did some lubricant and fingers and condoms.

I know. Jones? An origchar I didn't know I had in there! A kind of lurking spectral character!!!

He may now become my origchar by default: Captain Jones Parry Deek.

Also, Mmsd...?? Is this the translation of 'prehensile'?
