To Invent the Universe

I'm Claire: 22 years old, studying creative writing and computer science at Oberlin College, enthusiast of many things.

Bad translator will butcher your language.

I know this isn’t a new concept at all, but that doesn’t mean it stopped me from fiddling around with this for a while. My favorite so far: I gave it the first stanza of this iconic Emily Dickinson poem:

Because I could not stop for Death,

He kindly stopped for me;

The carriage held but just ourselves

And Immortality.

And, 56 translations later, I got this gem:

I hope to avoid the ball. However, discrimination.

This is why I’m often skeptical of translated works.
