So I was playing with the language translators on-line. I was trying to do a full conversion of my page to french and then back again so you could view the whole thing, but I had technical difficulties. So here’s the original paragraph and next to it that same paragraph converted to french and back to english. The third column is that translation from to spanish and back again.
| English So I slept great last night. Lately, a good night’s sleep has been five or six hours, I haven’t even been able to sleep on my days off lately. I’m thinking I got around eleven hours sleep so I’m feeling pretty good today. I actually woke up in a panic around seven that the alarm didn’t go off and I was late for work.

Lots of language translators at http://www.humanitas-international.org/newstran/more-trans.htm
The “sleep” paragraph is from a few posts back. It was short and seemed like a good choice.
PS- I slept crummy last night since i got so much sleep the night before…
LOL! That sounds about right. It reads as if you’d written it after 72 hours without sleep. ;)
Reminds me of the hypocryphal story of a computer doing this in the 50’s, from English to Russian back to English, and from “The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak” getting “The vodka is good but the meat is rotten.” :)
Ugh, I hate those online translators! Language is a complex thing, you can’t just reduce it to a simple “this word in language A = that word in language B” equation. That’s not how it works.
