Playing With Language(s)

I'm fascinated by on-line translation systems. I like to take a simple few lines of text and start translating them through the languages. It's a form of solitaire-telephone.

English to French:

French to Spanish:

Spanish to Enlish:

Oh Mike, that is so perfect. We have to do that exact thing when translating our informed consent forms for sponsors for work. We have to get a translator to translate them to the other language, then back translate them to English to make sure the gist was got.
