What are your funniest online translator fails?

We all know that online translators are pretty awful, so I thought we should try and find some of the funnier times they fail.

 

My funniest one is when I type in Yūma (ゆうま) from Japanese to English it produced: "We could say like Jack Robinson."

 

I was very confused when I first saw it, although if you try it now someone appears to have fixed it and it doesn't say that anymore.

I was very disappointed.

 

Let's see what you guys have found.

I got sent to prison after following Linus' instructions to #Makebombs

A JRPG just wouldn't be a JRPG if it didn't end with teenagers using the power of friendship to kill God.

Rule of thumb: take any subtitles, translate them to Japanese then back to English, makes almost any movie a comedy.

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

I find that translators struggle the most with Japanese.
