Thank you.

When I'm around we always go off topic. It's what I do best.

Babelfish translated this as "The other German Lautsprecherin".
Thanks a lot.

Yeah, well, Babelfish for sure can't translate that. The word doesn't really exist. The lady played with the two translations for speaker. One being the German speaker and one being the loudspeaker. And so she called herself a German loudspeaker, but with the female ending (which exists for the speaker person, but not the loudspeaker). Oh my, I think I got a knot in my brain... At least I didn't have to translate something like Saftschubse...

Sigh. I knew I should keep my mouth shut. OK, here we go. Saft = juice. Schubse comes from schubsen, which basically means "to push". And it's the female noun created from it (so basically a female pusher). Combined: A female juice pusher. Or, in other words, a stewardess.

Update: Hah, the Leo dictionary actually knows it:

So Trolley dolly it is then...

OK, OK, I updated the link so that it now gets you to the English version of the web page. Better?

Ok, that's now officially disgusting and should be considered "language violation". Is there some sort of crime scene investigation for this? (I wouldn't mind testifying to gorgeous Gil Grissom, but that's another story..)

Ha! Take this, Babelfish!

ms4766 · 20-03-07 21:48:15

Just one to make draculady laugh:
When Babulfish came out, we tried out several phrases and at one point just for fun entered "It's fucking cold". Translation was "Es bumst Kälte".

For our English speakers: Just take every single word of the sentence literally and you might get the translation (Babelfish assumed, that cold was a noun).

I once worked with a fellow who had worked on the early computer translation for NSA, circa 1960. One of the tests they used was to translate from Language A to Language B back to Language A.
