Lost In Translation

Hi peeps!

I tried starting this game AGES ago, but it never really took off - I think cause it was pretty hard to do yourself.

The game is this - put a well known phrase, saying, first line of a song, movie title, or whatever you like that would be recognisable to someone else, into this website

http://tashian.com/multibabel/

and Babelize it, and then post the result for us to guess what the original text was. If you guess correctly you get to take a turn.

Ok here's one to get us going:

'The life span is as framework of the chocolate, never knows you which, you receiving goes'

It didn't take off because it's hard to get the answers to =/

Any hints on how to solve it for those of us *coughmecough* who can't??

I'm guessing that is supposed to be 'Life is like a box of chocolates, never know what your gonna get' from Forrest Gump.

I can't believe I got that right

Right, here's my one, and I'll give you a clue.....

It's another famous movie quote.

May is the resistance with you.

Erm, but reecer just because AJ didn't post within 45 minutes doesn't mean she won't post at all.

Give her a chance.

Could it be what goes around, comes around?

In case it's right:

'too much many cooks damage the bubble'

Yes it was Vik. Cool thread btw! :D

Is yours: 'Too many cooks spoil the broth' ?

In case that's right: with the great energy the great responsibility comes

I don't know the answer to ICHI's one, but I just want to say that my friend and I used to play this a lot! (but we did it manually -- I didn't know of this site)

ICHI, I honestly can't think anymore on your one. Is it a common English saying or something? Can we have a hint if possible? Maybe in spoiler tags, but only if someone else asks, let everyone else have a think first :)

ö

Since when is my name connected with cheesy songs?

Oh God, no pressure then...

* Vik wanders off to think



EDIT 1: Is it... 'Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)'? Because ICHI, if it is, you're in soooooo much trouble :P Why ME!?

(yeeha!)

EDIT 2: In order to give people a better idea of the song I mean, here is an educational visual representation...
