Heh heh, the Lost in Translation site is a really nifty waste of time. Just input a phrase into the box, press go, and it will be machine translated into 5 different languages and then back into English. The results are very funny. [via metafilter]

Speaking of translation – The A2Z Comms site offers a plethora – I say again, a plethora – of machine translation languages for your free consumption. I mention it specifically because it offers Japanese, Russian, Swedish, Welsh and other such non-standard Babel Fish fare.
