This isn't Photoshop related at all! So if you're like me and hang around here without hardly ever chopping anything, here's another fun game! First, go here:

http://translate.google.com/translate

Next, take some of your favorite text, or make something up, and then translate it three times. For example, I took the following awesome snippet from They Might Be Giants song "Hovering Sombrero":

Time is flying like an arrow, and the clock hands move so fast they make the wind blow, and it makes the pages of the calendar go flying out the window one by one. Till a hundred years are on the front lawn, and the old familiar things are mostly all gone. Don't be burdened by regrets that make your failures an obsession. Remember when you take for granted, feel rejected and unwanted, you're never only just a hat.

First, I translate to German:

Zeit fliegt wie ein Pfeil, und die Taktgeberhände bewegen, also fasten sie lassen den Wind durchbrennen, und er läßt die Seiten vom Kalender das, Fenster heraus eins nach dem anderen zu fliegen gehen. Bis hundert Jahre auf dem vorderen Rasen sind und die alten vertrauten Sachen meistens ganz gegangen werden. Nicht durch Reue belastet werden, die deine Ausfälle eine Obsession bilden. Sich erinnern wenn du nehmen für bewilligt, das Gefühl, das zurückgewiesen wird und unerwünscht, du nie ein Hut nur gerecht sind.

Then, I take the German translation, and translate THAT to French:

Le temps vole comme une flèche, et les mains de donneur de synchronisation déplace, donc ils ont chanfreiné font le vent griller, et il fait aller dehors les côtés voler du calendrier à cela, à des fenêtres un après l'autre. Jusqu'à ce que cent ans sur la pelouse avant soient et les vieux se sont fiés à des choses sont allés principalement tout à fait. Pas par les Reue on charge qui forment tes pertes un Obsession. On se rappelle si tu prends le sentiment qui est rejeté pour accordé, et indésirable, tu n'es jamais que juste un chapeau.

Finally, I take THAT, and translate BACK to English:

Time flies like an arrow, and the hands of donor of synchronization moves, therefore they chamfered make the wind roast, and it makes go outside the sides to fly of the calendar to that, with windows after the other. Until hundred years on the front lawn are and the old men trusted things went mainly completely. Not by Reue one charges which forms your losses an Obsession. One remembers if you take the feeling which is rejected for granted, and undesirable, you are never but right one hat.

Fun, huh? Dammit, why don't I go chop something?

Haha, nice.
Perhaps the game could be, you post the translated text and then see if people can tell what song or famous quote you translated. This is the first verse of the song I translated:

I was carried by the river, in a small tent. Precisely that and OH- the river, I since then ran. It was to come in the long run, a length, knows however me. A modification will come.

I've just translated EJH's text into Spanish and back to English and got this back!

In order to introduce an entrance of the competition of photoshop, in the first place gone to a competition opened in all. The transference of the system if it concentrates them towards the satellites after the image produces them that they obtain hardly ruined and to select it “to conserve the image like „. In order to publish it as then you see the measurement transmit behind this same competition and of upload that one for means of the key of the fast reading to the inferior part to the page. Confused

That which bands wide and luminous were stars, thro the dangerous fight, O' er those Ramparts we so courageous watch' D, of electricities? And the red pointed gloss of the rockets, the bombs which burst in an air, thro gave the night to proof that our It flag of marking was still there. O legends, corner that of star spangled flag however vague O' er it country of free and the house of the courageous one? On does bank slightly seen thro the fogs of deep, where that put back arrogant owner of the enemy in the rest of fear what is that which them Brise, o' er which releases, since it roasts fitfully, a very high stiff half, with half dissimulates? Now it verfängt the gleam of the first luminous ray of the morning, completely re-elected indicated, shines now on electricity: 'Tis Stern-spangled flag: O, can move it a long time periodically O' er country of free and house of the courageous one! And where this volume which thus vauntingly oath that the devastation of the war and of Durcheinanders of the battle a house and a country is to have more to leave us? Your blood has wash' D outside pollution of their contrary stages to the rule. No protection could store Mietling and the slave Of the terror of the flight or the cloudy direction of the tomb: And Stern-spangled flag in Triumph doth vague O' er country of free and the house of the courageous one. O, then is indeed, as citizens of honor is, between their lov' D houses and the devastation of the war; Blest vict' ry and peace, can the country the praise heav' N gerettete Pow' R that hath and preserv' D us as nation formed! Must conquer us when our cause is right, and this one is our slogan: „In the god our confidence “and Stern-spangled are one flag in Triumph animated periodically O' er country of free and that House of the courageous one!
