TRANSLATORS ARE TRAITORS
Computers have been developed which can translate any language into
another. Ideally, if the translated passage were then translated by
computer back into the first language, the original words ought to be
regained. This, however, does not allow for the ambiguity of languages.
Thus, there is the story of the computer that was ordered to translate a
common English phrase into Russian and then translate the Russian
translation back into English.
What went in was: "Out of sight, out of mind."
What came out was: "Invisible insanity."
