This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time! I am still wiping the tears from my eyes and trying to catch my breath, but I have to share with you ASAP. It is an older video, but I first saw it today.
Below is the song “Alexander Hamilton” from the musical Hamilton, as translated by “Google Translate”— the videographer translates lyrics to another language and then back to English. The actual lyrics are at the top of the video, for those who don’t have them memorised; they are pretty small, but even if you can’t see them, you CAN see that Google’s words at the bottom make zero sense in most cases.
“Voice recognition” has the same problems. There is no substitute (so far!) for the human brain making sense of language. Please note that DKos has a professional transcription group led by 2thanks! If you need something transcribed properly, you can Kosmail the group here.
Meanwhile, take a break from the dire news and enjoy adding some nonsense to your day!
You can see more “Twisted Translations”here.
Please let me know your favorite translated line in the Comments. I don’t want to add a poll for fear of too many spoilers. Enjoy!
