Speaking of language...

I tried using Google's translator to translate the phrase, "I have a run in my stockings" from English into several languages.

As expected, a lot of them said something like "I run in my socks." But there were some really funny surprises.

Try...

Chinese
Spanish
Latin
Kurdish (Kurmanji)
Finnish

(Use the reversal button to translate it back to English)

Very funny.

(German, Hindi, Hawaian, and Welsh translated it perfectly)

Follow

You need to type in the phrase in the English side of the translator without quotes...

I have a run in my stockings

Then chose the language on the other (right) side. Use Simplified Chinese, not traditional.

If folks can't figure it out, I'll post the translations here, but it's more fun to watch them pop up in Google's translator.
