# Does anyone speak Portugese?
Can you translate: 'Um desenho (des)animado que conta as aventuras de um cão engasalhado. Não tem muita coisa, mas é hilário!'
(from here)...

I'm just a crap shot.

# Babelfish's Portugese to English translation
is this:

"A drawing (des)animado that it counts the adventures of a engasalhado dog. It does not have much thing, but he is hilário"

... which is nice.

# Babelfish do portugese? wow...
I thought it would be too obscure a language for them...

Japanese, Korean and Russian now...

# I thought "Japanese, I'd like to see that"
So I tried "hello" and got a result. Then I thought how do I know that says "hello" in Japanese. So I reversed the process and put the result in and translated from Japanese to English. The answer was "today". Hmmm...

# Thats the problem with
Japanese, its very ambiguous and context is everything.

Hello and today could very well be the same word :)

# That almost certainly explains
all manner of things

OR (after translation and back)

That the majority explains methodological everything of thing certainly.

# aha.... great. thank you.
It's always a puzzle when foreign sites link to you. You don't know what on earth they're on about.
(I helped save b3ta! AndyK, Thu 24 Jan 2002, 3:21, archived)
# What it means is . . .
An (un)animated cartoon of a well wrapped dog.

Doesn't have much too it, but it's hilarious.

(got a bit stuck with 'engasalhado', but reckon it's a local slang for 'agasalhado' which means covered).

By the way, the site name means 'I hate working here'.
