Return Ticket to other Language Via Google Translate
Don’t let the title confuse you. I was working on Google Translate and realized that conversion of a text to another language and re-conversion of the output text to the original language can give back interesting results. I chose to try it on an excerpt from “Adventures of Tom Sawyer”. See the differences like Coaches turns into Buses after a round trip from Arabic. Wealthy gentlemen who drive four-horse passenger coach start driving England after round trip from Japanese. Translation is not an easy task to do and far more difficult to make computer to do it, So I am here not pointing towards its faults, but the fun part of it. Try yourself on Google Translate with your own piece of text.
Original Text :
Tom said to himself that it was not such a hollow world, after all. He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it–namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain. If he had been a great and wise philosopher, like the writer of this book, he would now have comprehended that Work consists of whatever a body is OBLIGED to do, and that Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do. And this would help him to understand why constructing artificial flowers or performing on a tread-mill is work, while rolling ten-pins or climbing Mont Blanc is only amusement. There are wealthy gentlemen in England who drive four-horse passenger-coaches twenty or thirty miles on a daily line, in the summer, because the privilege costs them considerable money; but if they were offered wages for the service, that would turn it into work and then they would resign.
