Rerun of a silly meme
Take the first lines of your last ten stories and run each of them through Translation Party until they reach equilibrium, or until the program gives up on you. Post the results.
Edited to add - had to use 'BadTranslator' (http://ackuna.com/badtranslator) instead because Translation Party seems to have been borked by Bing. BadTranslator is different because it runs through several languages rather than just one.
1 - "He was ready to admit that it's all their fault, Azazel, because for a long time, and that last goal as." (Originally - She was willing to admit that this is as much her fault as Azazel's, she'd spent so long playing men recently that she'd not thought of things like the pill.)
2 - "My friend, I always thought that Cowley didn't know him, not just because he knows everything, but in 4 cases, only some of the objectives, he believed that if he, in order to make sure that your boss knows." (Originally - Bodie'd always assumed that Cowley knew that he wasn't straight because the old man knew everything, but after the 4th case, one after the other, of a queer being targeted for blackmail purposes, he wonders if he should make sure his boss knows.)
The largest change was the first one, because it changed Bodie to Buddy.
3 - "Sometimes my husband think he's more than happy that her ex-husband, Max." (Originally - Sometimes Dolph thinks that his girlfriend feels more for her ex-husband, Edge, than she does for him.)
This was reasonably similar until about mid-way through.
4 - "He, Stan, Steve Colton, vengeance not seen in other increases." (Originally - He and Stan Stickleton hadn't run into each other growing up.)
5 - "Color family apartment in Hertfordshire, was a luxury in the family, as both parties, in the garden, and brown." (Originally - Coward's family estate in Hertfordshire was palatial, with the family house done in Palladian style and garden by Capability Brown.)
In defence of the translation, both Coward and Capability are names that mean something.
6 - "Generation have heard that Orion girl, and all the rumors about him." (Originally - Gaila has heard all the rumours about Orion girls, and all the rumours about her.)
7 - "In two hours of the night, but George still in bed." (Originally - It was two in the morning, but George was still awake.)
8 - "One day." (Originally - It had been one of those days.)
9 - "I Know Hogwarts." (Originally - Hogwarts knows.)
Which was actually exactly the same until it went from Catalan to Chinese.
10 - "Beauty, recreational activities, assistance to farmers stockpile food for the winter, when you don't see the point, John is dead." (Originally - Tuck was taking a short break from helping the villagers store their food for the winter when he saw Much and Little John walking towards him with purpose.)
This one is inexplicable.
