I’m currently watching the fan dubbed version of Backstroke of the West (which is awesome…except for Yoda’s voice) and I thought I would try Backstroking something else from the trilogy, using Google Translate (would’ve used Babelfish, but that site is a shell of its former self), and adding in Backstroke terminology wherever possible.

Here’s the first scene I’ve done, and will probably refine it later…

See: No, my father did not attack in the war. He was in the Navigator Spice freighter.

ratio tile: This is your uncle told you. He does not insists your Father’s ideals. That he should be here instead of keeping distance to get hands.

See: You attack in the Clone Wars?

ratio tile: Yes, I was once a hopeless situation like your father.

See: I wish I could know him.

ratio tile:  He was the best star pilot in the Milky Way and a cunning warrior. I know you’ve become a pretty good pilot yourself. He is a Friends. This reminds me of … I have the matter here for you. I hope you have your father This time you are my enough, but your uncle would not allow it. He Worried that you might walk last with my ratio tile fool some of the damn idealistic Crusade like your father.

blow the skin: Mr. President, if you do not must me, I’ll shut down Period of time.

See: Certainly, go ahead.

See: What’s like this?

ratio tile: Your father lightsaber. This is a hopeless situation’s weapon. Not Clumsy or random as a shock. An elegant weapon for a more civilization time. For over a thousand Generations of hopeless situation elder are guardians of peace and good In the my Republic. Before the dark moment, before the Empire.

See: My father is how to failed?

ratio tile: A young hopeless situation life Reaching the west of reaches, who was one of my students, until he become to bad person, save the Empire driven out and exterminate the hopeless situation elder. He betrayal and murdered your father. Arrived, the hopeless situation elder are But extinct. Reaching the west of reaches is the dark world temptations of dint.

See: The dint?

ratio tile: Hear, the dint is what can’t of the hopeless situation his ability. This is an energy Site created by all on the hoof esse. It surrounds we, penetrates we. It binds the Milky Way cooperated.

ratio tile: Now, let’s see if we can not find who you are, my little kid. And to go where you come.

See: I saw the news on his part …

ratio tile: I seem to have found out.

Leia: Section ratio general, years ago you served my father in the Clone War. Arrived, he please you to helping him in his struggle onjection the Empire. Execuse me, I can not express my father’s decision that you Person, but my airship has depraved under beat, I’m frightened my count To breeze blow you Alderaan have lost. I handles important message For the surrender of the insurrection into the memory systematic of this R2 bureau. My father will understand of how to retrieve it. You handles to see this childses security delivered to him Alderaan. This is our great majority desperate time. Save me, ratio tile, you’re my only wish.

ratio tile: You need academic association to which power source is, if you accompany with me Alderaan.

ratio tile: Academic association dint, See. (came up Learn troops)

See: You see, I can seek you as far as possible to the anchor. You can get a That Limo Si Isley transport or where you’re going.

ratio tile: You need do what you feeling is appropriate, certainly.

The improvements made to Google Translate have seriously reduced the humour in the average Wilfredo post.

LOL!


blow the skin: Mr. President, if you do not need me, I'll close down Period of time.

Also LOL.

This kind of project would be a lot of fun and has the potential to be nearly as funny as Frink's ridiculous edits.

 Not if you translate to and from multiple languages. I did that once with a large document and went from English to another language and back over and over again until I had done every language and the result was hilarious.

I love the how "Jedi Knight" became "hopeless situation."

Speaking of Shakespeare, a Shakespearean rendition of Star Wars would be equally entertaining.

I found a much worse translator. Ordinarily, that would be bad, but in this case, that's great! ;) I'm quite pleased with the results. ("Away put" became "Invests"? Awesome! That's the same line of reasoning, if you will, as in the original Backstroke!) Here's a section from Empire...

STRANGE VOICE: What does the feeling look like?

Now I'm disappointed that Han didn't actually call Leia a "fabric hair bulb", especially in the first movie.

Since the English->Chinese->English translation cycle is inherently lossy, multiple passes should result in even more ridiculous translations.

Try it out!

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

I'd...rather not. (you can try if you'd like, though) Even the real Backstroke had some coherency and logical thought process. (no, really!) I mean, it might produce some extra ridiculous results, as you say, but I'm doing it to match the level of ridiculousness, not surpass it.

I think the balance is exactly right. If you saw my gigantic glossary of terms and knew how long it takes me to do even a few lines, you'd understand. :p

I have. It gets really ridiculous, but interestingly reaches a steady-state after a few iterations. I think the number of iterations before the steady-state depends on the complexity of the input sentence.

Man, now I wish my Blu-ray player came equipped with a "Backstroking" feature; preferably one with a strength dial that goes to 11.

Meh... wishful thinking. :-/
