original: When it dangles from a tree branch, it looks just like an acorn. It enjoys scaring other Pokémon.

dutch and back: When it dangles of a tree branch, it looks at only as a nipple. It enjoys doing are scared other Pokémon
(so it thinks it looks like a nipple? 0.o
 
Original: Hello. My name is the name that my parents decided to put on my birth certificate.

Through Dutch: Hello. My name is the name my parents on my birth certificate decided to put.
(That isn't that terribly mangled. I actually know some Dutch, it wasn't that bad in Dutch either.)

Through Korean: Woman bond. My name in order name is the parents in my birth certificate which is decided.
(Now the meaning has changed.)

Through Japanese: Unity of woman. My name of name of order is the parent of my birth certificate which is decided.
(I didn't know birth certificates were born. Or that names could be parents.)

Through Portuguese: Unit of the woman. My name of the name of the order is the father of my birth certificate that is determined.
(So now we have discovered that the name is male.)

Through German: Unit of the woman. My name of the name of the order is the father of my birth certificate, which is decided.
(I understand even more German than Dutch. It was just as weird.)

I could write a story using this. Though I doubt anyone would want to read about the birth certificate's father, who happened to be the name of the name of an order.

Chinese: Anything is this I does not even want

Italian:What is this I does not make not even
What's with all the making?
Japanese: As for this what which is I
Finally, something ridiculously incorrect.
Korean: This even court lady what
What is this I do not even
Portuguese: What he is this me does not make exactly
Sounds like Shakespeare.
Russian: That this I do not make even
Okay okay we get it you like the word make
Spanish: Which is this one I I do not even do

You guys should try this translator. You can translate through 56 languages very quickly and it's hilarious.

Example:

Original text:

"I want to be the very best, like no one ever was! To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause! I will travel across the land, searching far and wide each Pokemon to understand the power that's inside!"

...56 translations later we get:

"In fact, he wrote, and "understand"! I believe that Israel's economy in a long time."
 
What is this I do not even

Turns into

All.

Not terrible....

This is just from the original Japanese to English. WHY.

And now, the real lyrics + a million languages
Do I hear the birds singing?
No, it's just the cry of the forest.
Do I see the moon shining?
No, it's just the fire burning.

The woman that we called our "mother"
Burned to ashes in the fireplace.
She left behind the "orginal sin"
Which we split into seven pieces.

Lust, the flower
Gluttony, the seed
Pride, the stone
Envy, the spring
Sloth, the wind
Greed, the soil
And wrath, the forest

Rise, seven sins
The filth created by the pretentious mother
Keep turning and turning, Earth
Please cleanse these seven deadly sins

The hands of the forbidden fruit
Unleashed the seven sins onto the world
Tree of Eldoh, the garden of the forest
Called on an old friend to retrieve them all.

"I don't mind as long as it keeps me entertained."
"All of time is infinite anyway,"
Sneered the sorceress.

After losing her loved one
And destroying everything dear to her
Eternity given to her
Seemed completely empty.

She who had everything lost it all.
What does she hope for?
What does she seek?
At the end of time...

Born and raised by one woman
And then split into seven pieces is the story of sin.
The crazed whims of the witch who transcends time
Starting from the forest is the Chrono Story.
