Translation Party!

I found this really fun and cool site called "Translation Party"! You put in any phrase you like in English and the site translates it to Japanese and back again until you get a really funny translation! ~ An ode to Google translation which isn't always so accurate! ;)

I put in one of my favorite sayings: "Well behaved women rarely make history!" and this is what I got...

well behaved women rarely make history

into Japanese: よく女性の行儀のほとんど歴史を作る

back into English: Most of the well-behaved women make history well

back into Japanese: よく女性の行儀のほとんどは歴史を作る

back into English: Most well-behaved women make history

back into Japanese: 最もよく女性の歴史を作る行儀

back into English: Best-behaved women make history

back into Japanese: 最高の女性の歴史を作る行儀

back into English: Best-behaved women make history

Equilibrium found!
You've done this before, haven't you.

See? It's a hoot! Try it yourself on your own favorite phrase!
