Topic: Fun with translations!

As some of you might know(as in non-english people); translation is a funny business. This thread is dedicated to funny translations that go from English to your language, and then back again.

Ok, I suck at explanation, but here's a few examples.

Reboot in Norwegian is "Omstart". However, translated directly/literally, it's "Omstøvle", which, translated literally back to English, spells out "rebooting", but in a manner of putting your boots back on.

Another phrase is "Of course". translated correctly, it's "Så klart", but that traslated back to English is "So clear", and "Of course" literally translated is "av kurs", which then, in turn, translates back to "Off course".

Got any other fun examples?

Also, "Voucher" means "tilgodelapp" which literally means "for good note".

Re: Fun with translations!

I always liked that the German word for glove is Handschuh. Translates back like it sounds. Also, bats (the animals) are Fledermäuse, or flying mice.

Re: Fun with translations!

Sure... I'll play
Icelandic is lousy with these words.

The first one is the most beautiful of all these words in my opinion.
Midwife => Ljósmóðir => Light Mother
Idea => Hugmynd => Mind Picture
Rocket = Eldflaug = Fire fly (like in ´to fly´)
light sabre => Geislasverð => Beam Sword
Film => Kvikmynd => moving picture
Bat => Leðurblaka = Leather flapper or swatter

Re: Fun with translations!

And Icelanders carefully constructed technology words out of old Icelandic words, right? So the Icelandic for television translates to reindeer-skin window or something.

It's a little more complicated but essentially yes smile We have a lot of old words which are being repurposed

The word Television translates to Sjónvarp witch translates back to Vision + Thrown (that witch is thrown). But we use this other word for screens (tv and computer). The word for screen is skjár. But that word used to be the window on a house that had a shaved and stretched skin (often reindeer) on it to let the light in but trap heat inside the house (we are using house liberally there).

One of the most complicated (and beautiful) of these words is the word for computer.

Computer => Tölva
The word Tölva is a composite of two words, Tala (Number) and Völva (shamanic seeress). So the word is this combination of numbers and predictions that totally encompass what computer do.

English would be so much better if the word for computer was "mathwitch".

Re: Fun with translations!

Let me dust off this old topic...

One day I was playing with an application called Subtitle Edit. One of its functions is automated translation powered by Google Translate (Ctrl-Shift-G). I remembered the glorious Backstroke of the West translation, so I loaded English subtitles from a randomly picked DVD (it was the 2009 Star Trek movie) and Google-translated them a few times (choosing languages at random - I remember that Vietnamese was one of them). After Google-translating the result back into English, I couldn't believe my own eyes. It was almost to good to be true.

This file was laying on my hard drive for a few months. I figured this would be a good place to post it. The original text is white, the Google translation is yellow.
