A little bit OT:
Take a sentence in your native language, translate it to a 2nd one and the result to a 3rd one and that result back to your language. Hope you still know the first sentence.
Butz to be honest, similar things happen also with some human translators. I remember that we tested this in Saudi Arabia. We gave an english document to a translator to translate it into Arabic and the result we gave to an other one to translate this in English. Believe me, in the original text there was nothing written about roses and other funny things.
