Really scary Google Translations

[Sirotnikov]

I know, I know - we had a thread about google translation a while ago.

But this one is different.


So I'm a sort of a power user and I like to install and test silly software on my computer. I found a great kit of windows explorer plugins by some asian guy.

Anyways, I wanted to uninstall one of them, so I head to the installation folder, and .... wham! no uninstall feature.

So I go to the readme file only to discover it to be filled with cryptic asian symbols.

解凍したファイルを適当な場所に移動し、 同梱の InstallerQTToolBar2.exe をその場で実行して指示に従ってください。 バージョンアップのときも同様です。 *インストールには、Power User以上の権限が必要です。 *インストールに失敗するときは…… Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 がインストールされているか確認してください。 Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 は Windows Update から入手するか、 または ここ( Microsoft ) からダウンロードしてインストールしてください。

No worry, though!
I have google on my side!

So I launch the translator page and copy paste what appears to be the relevant passage from the readme, choose the proper encoding (Chinese to English BETA) and hit OK.


Nothing could have prepared me for this:

Automatically translated text:
You thaw them FALAQ son of Allah not the appropriate place of their Mobile them, Translating the InstallerQTToolBar2.exe with them on the practice-place to be and do not follow what instructions no more death of the righteous. バ ー down ョ ン プ It is a folk crawling creature with the foot! * イ ン ス ト ー ル Surely, Power User dominion over the limit when necessary! * イ ン ス ト ー ル them failed Allah is astray ... Microsoft. NET framework 2.0 when イ ン ス ト ー ル a Guarded revelations confirmed bring to the death of the righteous. Microsoft. NET framework 2.0 is Windows Update? they start! And, And threw This (Microsoft) did Adam Pharaoh Intelligence, 011 do イ ン ス ト ー ル bring to the death of the righteous.

WHAT THE F**K!?!?!!


So I try to make sure I haven't done anything wrong.

I copy paste the text again, and I make sure that I selected the "Chinese to English" and NOT the "Arabic to English" option.
Same result. CRAP.



What kind of odd Cino-Islamic bulls**t is this?!

What have I installed? What does it do to my infidel computer?

It probably knows all about my porn habbits...
And my Israeli affiliation.

...and my Israeli porn habbit affiliation and whatnot.





/me changes translation option to "Japanese to English":

Automatically translated text:
Please move the file which it thaws to the suitable place, execute bundled InstallerQTToolBar2.exe at that place and follow to the indication. When upgrading it is similar. * Authority above the POWER User is necessary in installation. * When failing in installation, ...... Please verify whether Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 is installed. Here (Microsoft) from please procure Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 from Windows, or Update download and install.

Thank god.

That was damn right scary

How the heck did that malfunction so awkwardly with identifying odd chinese words in japanese characters?

[Pekka]

Wow, dude, you have to wonder how you got that first message, if this Japanese translation worked for you. I mean, how the hell did you get THAT message in the first place then?

[Sirotnikov]

I have no idea.

It'll still work the same if you copy paste the text yourself.

Scary sh*t.

[snoopy369]

So you're saying the Japanese are really islamist chinese dissidents in secret?

/me hides

[Pekka]

Siro, this is interesting. I think we shouldn't just forget this translation but work it out.

Either that, or Google employees have a really unflattering view of Chinese people

[civman2000]

It appears that all the weird stuff is coming from the Chinese translator attempting to translate kana (characters used in Japanese but not Chinese). In particular, ください ("kudasai", or roughly, "please") is translating as "death of the righteous". Why this is I have no idea.

[Wernazuma III]

This is simply awesome! I guess that's how the hidden Satanic messages on discs work.

[aneeshm]

This is beyond.

[Adagio]

Is this proof that all Chinese are really worshiping Allah and wants everybody else dead? We should send this translation to Bush, so he can take care of this problem

[Thue]

Of course there is also speech recognition

[Colon™]

So you were freaked out because a text appeared to be containing the word allah?

[Blake]

I personally think the folk crawling creature with the foot sounds scarier .

Dude, I don't know what you do for a living.

I've seen a few fundamentalist Islamic texts, and I know how to spot one.

hint: "no more death of the righteous... them failed Allah is astray" etc etc.


And "It is a folk crawling creature with the foot" is downright horrendous.

[Q Classic]

I'm puzzled at how you could have confused written Japanese with written Chinese.

I suppose that's all right, I can't read your native Arabic, so.
