Translation Party

As far as I can figure, this is just a wonderful way to waste time--but too wonderful not to post it here. Type in any English sentence, and this page just keeps translating it back and forth between English and Japanese until it finally produces an identical translation twice in a row. This is declared to be "equilibrium," though it most often turns out to be nonsense.

For example, here's the result of typing in the first two sentences of this post:

In this figure, this is the best way - is very much Rashiiarimasen to waste time is to post only knows. Only before and after the conversion to any type of English sentence, the last two times, Japanese and English, in order to maintain this page to generate a translation of the same line.


Clear enough?

What is clear is that there is still a future for ESL teachers.
