Are there any more of these "Translators"?

P.S. You're lucky I didn't try the Constitution, as I had originally intended. I stopped trying to post it when I realized how...<cough cough cough>...huge it really is.

[Urban_Legend 0]

^That was hilarious!

[ironchapman 1]

The speeches, or just the thread in general? Either case, they're both funny.

Are there any more of these "Translators"?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I found a translator a few years ago that translated English into Ebonics. The translate button in this one was labeled Ebonify dis whack English.

There was another one that translated English into Valley Girl speak.

Here is the Gettysburg Address:

The Gettysburg Address

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nov. 19, 1863

Fourscore an' seven years ago our fathers brought forth on dis here continent uh new nation, conceived in liberty an' dedicated ta da proposition dat all men iz created equal.

Now we's iz engaged in uh great civil war, tes'in whether dat nation or any nation so conceived an' so dedicated can long endure. We iz met on uh great battlefield o' dat war. We gots come ta dedicate uh portion o' it as uh final resting place fo' those who died here dat da nation might live. This we's may, in all propriety do. But in uh larger sense, we's cannot dedicate, we's cannot consecrate, we's cannot hallow dis here ground. The brave men, living an' dead who struggled here gots hallowed it far above our poor power ta add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we's say here, but it can never forget what dey did here.

It iz rather fo' us da living, we's here be dedicated ta da great task remaining 'bfoe us--that from deez honored dead we's take increased devotion ta dat cause fo' which dey here gave da last full measure o' devotion--that we's here highly resolve dat deez dead shall not gots died in vain, dat dis here nation shall gots uh new birth o' freedom, an' dat da system o' da peeps, by da peeps, fo' da peeps shall not perish from da earth."

Try this:

It is a website with several silly translators.

Click here for the site

One of my faves on that site is the "Inbedder". It "inbeds"( ) text.

Here is the Gettysburg Address Inbedded, I bolded some of the places where it was "inbedded"

The Gettysburg Address -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nov in bed. 19, 1863 Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal in bed. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure in bed. We are met on a great battlefield of that war in bed. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who died here that the nation might live in bed. This we may, in all propriety do in bed. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground in bed. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have hallowed it far above our poor power to add or detract in bed. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here in bed. It is rather for us the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth in bed."
