Misadventures with Google Translate

I put Life Series quotes through Google Translate too many times. Please help me, I can't stop.

The Names

Bdubs -> Bduby

BigB -> Capital B

Cleo -> Language

Etho -> line

Gem -> Decoration

Grian -> Shooter

Impulse -> Road

Jimmy -> Jimmy

Joel -> Hurrah

Lizzie -> Lizzie

Martyn -> Martyne

Mumbo -> Explosives

Pearl -> Beer

Ren -> Ren

Scar -> Right

Scott -> Scott

Skizz -> Writing

Tango -> Background

The Watcher -> Inspector

Some highlights

Scott: this house Jimmy: And street. [Original line: "It's home?" "Home."]

Language: Be good to me: die for me. [Original line: "Do me a favor: Die for me."]

Lizzie: And I left this world the same way I entered it: troubled. [Original line: "And so I left this world just as I had entered it: confused."]

Shooter: Scar, I think we are spirit descendants and you are too busy catching fairies!! [Original line: "Scar, I think we're soulmates and you're too busy chasing fairies!"]

Scott: They tear up carpets and kill farm animals. It immediately burst into lava. [Original line: "They break carpet and kill cows. And they mine straight down into lava."]

Language: Look, if you have a lost father, you might lose it? [Original line: "Look, if you're gonna be an absent father, could you be at least absent?"]

Scott: Our theme is ABBA's summer house, is it there now? Dead metal?! [Original line: "Our theming was once Cottagecore ABBA, now it's what? Death metal?!"]

Martyne : Tell me something before you go. Why are you attached to the sun? Inspector: Hmmm... HE. It was never meant to be. He just wanted to look. [Original line: "Just... tell me one thing before I go. Why were you so set on Grian?" "Hmph... HIM. He was never meant to be there. He was only ever meant to watch."]

line: I'm a good person to have someone light my tree. [Original line: "I was a good person till somebody burned down my tree."]

Decoration: God, that seems like a recipe for anxiety. Yes I am. [Original line: "God, that sounds like a recipe for angst. Yeah, I'm in."]

Lizzie: Follow it! No friends! [Original line: "Ha! You've got no friends!"]

Beer: Something bad is happening here. [Original line: "Something wicked this way comes."]

Shooter: Here we show our true truth? For yourself or for someone else? Are we all excited? [Original line: "Is this where we show our true allegiance? To each other, and no one else? We turn on everyone?"]

Background: It's not fair, it's not fair, I'll come back to it. [Original line: "This is unjust, it's excessive, and I will return."]

Capital B: No holes! [Original line: "There is no hole!"]

Some notes

I thought it'd be funny if the translations I used were all into languages I either knew off the top of my head that the creators speak or are official languages where they live. This got really convoluted really fast, because Ren was the only person I could think of who speaks a language other than English and I completely ran out after French and Scottish Gaelic, so I added languages spoken by Hermitcraft members instead, then threw Maori on for good measure because New Zealand's close enough to Australia (sorry, New Zealand) and I couldn't find any aboriginal Australian languages on Google Translate. So the translation order roughly went Afrikaans -> French -> Scottish Gaelic -> German -> Swedish -> Polish -> Maori -> English.

Ren's line "Red Winter is coming, me laddie" line got translated as "The red winter is coming, my lady." Honestly, it still kind of works?

"Watcher" got translated as "Inspector", which gives me the mental image of Inspector Gadget in a Watcher costume.

I don't know where the extra e at the end of Martyn's name came from.

I don't know why Etho's name is the only name that got translated into lowercase.

The fact that Mumbo's name somehow got translated as "Explosives" made me start cackling as soon as I saw it.

There were several points where Grian's name got translated as "The Sun" instead, probably because "Grian" is the word for "Sun" in Irish and Scottish Gaelic is from the same language family, so they probably share the same or a similar word.

"Soulmate" somehow got translated as "Spirit descendants". I'm pretty sure it's because it got split up into its component words; "Soul" corrupted into "Spirit", and "Mate"...I honestly don't know.

I translated a grand total of one line from Bdubs, and for some reason when I translated the document back to English, that one line stayed stuck on what I'm pretty sure is Maori except the word "Boogey", which stayed exactly the same.

I'm genuinely surprised by how many lines stuck remarkably close to the originals. Aside from his name, one of Joel's lines ("Where's the fun in that?") somehow survived perfectly intact, and one of BigB's lines ("There is no hole!") got pretty close ("No holes!").

I think the best part about this is that you can tell how and why Google translated some things the way it did, and then others you're just left completely stumped about how the hell it happened.

#life series #traffic series #traffic smp #life smp #3rd life #last life #double life #limited life #secret life #translation fails #google translate #this is what happens when you watch backstroke of the west for the first time #i might make another one of these with more life series quotes but that'd mean i'd have to rewatch it #(i took all these quotes off of tvtropes)#and i just don't have the time rn #so feel free to give me quote suggestions

"As for the government of the kingdom, [Edward V] had complete confidence in the peers of realm and the queen."

"According to the Crowland continuator, [Elizabeth Woodville] seems to have taken the king's place in listening to his council immediately after Edward IV's death. It does appear that she expected to have some role in her son's kingship, and the Crowland continuator’s report of the letters sent to her by [Richard of Gloucester] indicates that she had good reason to expect to be able to work with him and the other councillors: 'the duke of Gloucester wrote the most pleasant letters to console the queen; he promised to come and offer submission, fealty and all that was due from him to his lord and king, Edward V, the first-born son of his brother the dead king and the queen'."

"[However], in what was Gloucester's first coup, Edward V was separated from his household and Woodville advisors. When the young king questioned the move, Buckingham was reported to have told the boy 'It is not in the business of women but men to govern kingdoms'. The blunt remark referred to the authority of Elizabeth Woodville as queen and the power she must have anticipated within the new political climate left by Edward IV's sudden death [...] While the veracity of this scene is questionable*, the words attributed to the duke no doubt seemed plausible to Dominic Mancini who believed they exemplified the popular sentiment held by men [...]."

-Dominic Mancini, The Usurpation of Richard the Third / J.L. Laynesmith, The Last Medieval Queens: English Queenship 1445-1503 / Alexander R. Brondarbit, Power Brokers and the Yorkist State, 1461-1485

*One of Mancini's key sources seems to have been Edward V's own doctor, John Argentine, who attended to him in the Tower. It's very likely that he was the one who recounted this scene to Mancini, which suggests that it should probably be considered more credible than not.

#historicwomendaily #elizabeth woodville #wars of the roses #15th century #english history #my post #Croyland wrote that 'The counsellors of the king - now deceased - were present with the queen' so yes #He clearly seemed to view Elizabeth as taking on Edward's role after his death #Which is striking since her son - the new King - hadn't even arrived in London yet let alone be crowned #It's also interesting that Richard wrote letters to *her* rather than the rest of the council and that she was the final deciding authority #when it came to her son (she was the one who wrote to him for his military escort) - it's a clear indication of who was seen as important #This is also reflected in 16th century chronicles like the claim that the Archbishop of York gave Elizabeth the Great Seal #We don't know if this is true - the Archbishop was definitely opposed to Richard but More may have embellished or invented the story #But either way it reflects the perception that Elizabeth would have a major role in the realm's governance during her son's minority #Which makes sense as Edward V would have been used to his mother governing for him as part of his council his whole life #It's also interesting to compare the impression we get of Elizabeth's role with that of former kings' mothers in late medieval England #Because that can help us understand her activities (and perception of them) within proper context rather than purely in isolation #From what I understand kings' mothers could be very influential (eg: Joan of Kent) but were almost never visibly/directly associated #with the governance of the realm. It's striking that the most extreme and arguably the only exception - Isabella of France - assumed #her unofficial regent-like role only after literally deposing the former King aka her husband in the most atypical situation imaginable #So it's striking that Elizabeth *was* visibly and directly associated with it despite her situation being entirely standard; despite the #lack of precedents; and despite the physical absence of her son. Especially since she was effectively the king's mother for only 20 days #I do think it's possible to argue that it says something about her power as queen #(Edward *did* give her unusual positions of authority either way) and may also suggest a more direct personality on her part #It may also explain why historians were/are so readily prepared to believe that she wanted to 'usurp the sovereignty' to quote George Buck #Ofc this is my interpretation based on my (limited) knowledge - feel free to correct me

OKAY since so many people expressed interest in my last post:

reasoning for each option:

the most popular name people know them by, might alienate people who don't ship them

ambiguous name that doesn't alienate shippers or people who see them in different kind of relationships. issue is finding things that "fit" both of them respectively, though

the platonic duo name for them, although might alienate shippers

ambiguous name open for any kind of relationship, although less "branded" as doing something similar to roses and smoke week's name

#clownzy #branzypierce #clownpierce #branzy #branzycraft #funhouse duo #lifesteal smp #<- only maintagging so more people can see this #if people have suggestions!!! feel free to give them!!!#i should also mention this might be a lil while before it starts LOL there's been a lot of weeks lately #and burnout is like. bad #so! ya!#give me yalls thoughts :)

hey Siri at what point in Rogue Trader do I finally get to do real ass heretical shit

#running into that everpresent problem in video games: being the ''bad guy'' is really hard to actually do with any consistency #bg3 is really the only game that made it fun to be fucked-up from the beginning by making ''bad guy'' into a codified custom character type #only game i've played* (feel free to suggest other rpgs that do this)#(using ''bad guy'' as shorthand but i basically just mean any kind of archetype that is seen as aberrant in the game's world)#obvs i've taken every heretical dialogue option to build up reputation etc and ofc i'm still in act 2 but I AM IMPATIENT #let me commit chaos!!!! also why do i have to wait until act 3 to get marazhai. this game is testing me fr fr #(i wish heretical wasn't so attractive bc it seems iconoclast has more interesting stuff to do earlier on)#i've looked up the average runtime of this game ok and i want to make sure i don't get burned out on it #before i get to do the fun weird shit i signed up for!!!!!#all these combat encounters are killing me also. like they're not *hard* per se (YET) but they're just...... tedious #the combat system itself is fine but i don't really jive with the skillsets they're giving me. like. this shit is boring #kibella is the only one who is fun to do combat with. yayyy death from above yayyyyy yippeeeee

Yeah, I also want to see 2 season, especially Destiny and my favorite Delirium, but I'm also curius who will play Remiel and Duma.

[i think this ask was pre-s2 announcement bc 2022 but YEAH]

i'm a HUUUUUUUUUGE duma stan you dont even KNOW

#sandman #the sandman #duma #asks #answers #continuing my trend of answering asks from 2022 #anyway im on my duma sign language train #i consider duma's domain to be the *concept* of silence. like as an audio phenomenon. that doesnt mean he cant talk!!#i'm glad that in the lucifer comics they respect him and usually seem to be able to understand him without oral speech #potentially bc (per canon) he *can* mentally project what he wants people to know #but i think they missed an opportunity to actually have duma tell lucifer in *words* that he is both deeply loved And a little bitch #like creatures like lucifer know every language so????#(also. signed angel conlang anyone??? with WINGS???)#(actually i think that's impractical since it needs to be usable during flight. but having different forms is also awesome.)#lucking out on this that the sign for me too/same seems to be the same in asl & bsl #ultimately i don't think that duma should need to speak a human signed language at all -- but for clarity idk which to pick you know?#considering that this is an english-speaking comic with a british writer with a largely american audience #*probably* asl bc i am american and don't want to mix myself up but #anyway if you are a native speaker of asl. if i ever do more comics with duma and others i Will need help #i know a few asl words but i do Not have a good grasp of grammar #so please feel free to correct or suggest or dm me idk !! i really want to interact w the d/Deaf community more #always open to language critique #and i kind of would love help designing angel sign conlang. bc the concept of duma giving lucifer a name sign lives in my head forever #fwiw i'm fully on the duma/lucifer qpp train by the way. like duma has been PINING.

in so much pain that i'm honestly second guessing if any of this is worth it lol

#like realistically just being able to actually eat should be a huge QOL improvement #but if the migraines and tmj pain actually stay more like what they are right now it might not even matter #I'm trying to correct that bad rotation in my jaw rn and it is killing me #it was to sit way shifted that's the only pain free position #and i don't know why #it was suggested that improper bone development could be a factor #which may only be correctable with surgery #and idk if i believe that even works let alone want to do it #or could #and it just feels like at this rate my only option is to spend the next 20 years chasing the next potential fix #before just giving up and accepting that i simply was not meant to feel good lol #and so it's tempting to just get ahead of the curve and do it now #obviously i won't. the process is already started and there's no way it doesn't at least help #but morale is down i will not lie
