OP Delivers...

Well, sometimes it sucks to be German. While we learn English at school, at the end most can only ask for the right direction or tell you their name. But what do you expect of a school system thats bad like ours (but still anytime better than that of the USA :P But thats like bragging that you can better run than someone without legs.)

I call myself lucky that my father forced me to learn English and taught me at home. So most of the time I understand what I'm writing and more importantly what you guys write. Most of the time I only don't understand specific sayings. An example that stuck to my head: "Now the shit hit the fan."
I really didn't get it at first because we don't have a German saying for that. Well, we something similar: "Nun ist die Scheiße am dampfen." (Now the shit starts to fume.) Doesn't makes much sense in English, at least for what it is intended to say.

Now call me surprised when I got this:

Sehr schönes Grundstück in diesem Fall. Ich habe gerade in der letzten Woche Ihre Geschichte, nahm mich eine Weile, um chatch auf. dabei groß so weit. Ich habe auch eine kleine Bitte, denken Sie, könnte tangosierrag82 ein Bild von Thiemo und Amaryllis teilen eine Umarmung zu tun?

I could smell the google translator 10 miles against the wind. I hate google translator! It does work for words, but not sentences.

After a meeting with my staff we came to the conclusion that this should resemble the original message:

Nice plot in this case. I found your story last week and it took a while to catch up. I would like to ask a small favor, could you ask Tango Sierra to draw a picture of Thiemo and Amaryllis hugging?

Now, that you understand what the German version was like to us:

Nice estate in this case. I have just last week your story, took a while to chach up. There big and far. I have a small favor, think you, could tangosierra82 a picture of Thiemo and Amaryllis share a hug do?

So in the future. Please, don't use the google translator and just speak plain English with me. I'm a big guy. I will understand.

But I have asked Tango Sierra and surprise (If you like the picture visit Tango Sierra on deviantart.com and look at his other works too. He will appreciate it.):

You got to admit, though, Google Translate does make for some funny translations

Also; Daww.

Eh I got bored... I pasted that German message and translated it to Portuguese. I think the results were a little bit better.

Muito bom enredo neste caso. Eu tenho apenas na semana passada a sua história me levou um tempo para chatch diante. indo muito bem até agora. Eu também tenho um pequeno pedido, você acha tangosierrag82 poderia ser uma imagem de Thiemo e Amaryllis partes um abraço fazer?

Very good plot in this situation. I have only in last week your story took me one time to chatch to front. going very well so far. I also have a small request, you think tangosierrag82 could be an image of Thiemo and Amaryllis parts a hug make?

Hehe, could tangosierrag82 be an image of those two hugging?

That said, translation issues are fun.

Don't even try, he's a lost case.
Instead write on "Bad Mondays". I'm at chapter 23 now and I will soon demand updates daily.

2375313 DAILY!?

Preposterous! No man ca- well fuck, now that I think about it, I kinda put myself into a corner with that...

I work from home. I do my own schedules. If I want free time, I have free time.
Ever heard/seen/read "diaries of a mad man"? Took me one week to be up2date.
I have over 300 favs and could most like tell you what happens in every one of them if you asked. While I have a notebook for Journey, the complete story is always in my head. Every dialog. Every scene. I only lack the drive to write sometimes. So I read, a lot. 5 updates a day? Well I' busy for the next hour, then I will need another 5. I devour stories!!!
So, yeah... daily.

Anyway. I like your work and if you like, we could talk sometime. Just write me a PM if you want my skype name. (Knock, knock let me in, let me be your secret sin...)

[Handyman]

2375357 Eh, sure, I'll give you a PM.

I have to laugh at that. You guys are really damn good at the Translating in my own personal opinion. Sure there are a few phrases here and there that just... well, you can tell it's translated, but it doesn't actually detract from the story. I just discovered Journey and am waiting for the next arc to start my trademark 'per chapter' and 'per arc' poems. Those following Pending and a couple other stories will know if you actually care. Anyway, you guys are awesome and can someone please draw Amy's pony form? That would be awesome.

Please note that the following may cause brain damage in attempting to read. I do not speak anything but English, so you can guess where this came from. Thou hath been warned:

Ich muss darüber lachen. Ihr seid wirklich verdammt gut im Übersetzen in meine eigene persönliche Meinung. Sicher gibt es ein paar Sätze hier und da, die gerade ... gut, man kann sagen, es ist übersetzt, aber es nicht wirklich aus der Geschichte keinen Abbruch. Ich habe gerade entdeckt, Journey und warte auf die nächste Bogen zu meiner Marke "pro Kapitel" und "pro Bogen 'Gedichte zu starten. Wer nach Ausstehend und ein paar andere Geschichten wissen, ob Sie tatsächlich interessieren. Wie auch immer, ihr seid großartig und kann jemand bitte ziehen Amys Pony Form. Das wäre genial.

Hey, if it's not too much trouble, I've always wanted a literal translation of what Google gives you in the other language back to English.
