Got bored, started playing with Google Translate

So I translated the names of everyone on the forums at 5:16 AM. Some are pretty amusing, at least for me. Here they are:

L3xandr3 ---> We are
@Anathaco Anathaco--> Anatko
@Ertrick36 Ertrick36 ---> Promise of Eritrea Yum
@ranger016 Ranger016 ---> Zeru closes only once
@Usana Usana ---> United States
@nedya Nedya ---> UNedia
@Saint Rubenio Saint Rubenio ---> San Rubinio
@Eltosian Kadath Eltosian Kadath ---> Facebook Facebook Sign in with Facebook through Iliasian Kadat
(^^^ I'm sorry, what?)
@Shadow Mir Shadow Mir ---> Shadow Mir
@Dayni Dayni ---> Danny
@Hasechi Meguhami Hasechi Meguhami ---> Hasechi Magumi
@Florete Florete --> Flowers
@Sweet Summer Tana Sweet Summer Tana ---> Dry summer
@Grumpah Grumpah ---> IGrampah
@Stones Stones ---> Stone
@Humanoid Humanoid ---> People

 

So apparently Google Translate thinks I'm either insane or a group personality.

And before anyone asks why I did this, I'm slightly sick, fevered, and delirious. Nothing to concern yourselves over.

It's fun 🙂 . Hope you feel better soon

...What? Did some unscrupulous company get their name to translate to an advertisement or something? I am not surprised its nonsense, as both are effectively fictional proper nouns. Eltosian was a much older translation of the character that would become known as Eldigan, and Kadath is a reference to a mythical location in the works of H.P. Lovecraft,

That brought out quite some laughter from me, just from the absurdity of what the translation is.

Eltosian I knew the origin of. Kadath I didn't. The more you know.

I can't believe I've been turned into an East African snack brand.

It's probably better than what I actually am, which is a vaguely Germanic North American shitposter, but still.

I dunno what an Anatko is but I’ll take it.

What specifically killed me is Eltosian Kadath’s abomination of a translation being immediately followed by Mir’s name remaining the exact same.

Honestly the best way to spend your time. Hope you get well soon.

That's...pretty interesting translation, still not as cool as Eltosian Kadath's though

Google Translate works in mysterious ways.

Yea, me too.

Thanks.

I love Google Translate, funnier than most comedians.

Thanks.

It's missing Latin. Everywhere.
