"I can't believe I have to go to work tonight." became "I cannot think that he must go to process tonight." That’s insane!

“I can’t believe I have to go to work tonight.”
became
“I cannot think that he must go to process tonight.”

I'm such a lazy American... I know only 2 languages: American (read: bastardized) English, and Ebonics. TC: I don't know what's funnier - your original sentence or the result... Ev: 10010 011001010011 00 Sarah: Ha! I updated the post so it explains that the Babelizer does all the work for you. I'm too much of a slacker to do all that myself. Boris: Thanks for the link! I've put you on my link list as well. Rock on! MadBull: Yeah those online translators are pretty worthless. Marc: Here's the result (I included Chinese, Japanese, and Korean so it could match the Japanese words): "Equipment of employees of arigato one of domestic I of Roboto" Christa:

They hardly know any grammar and will translate the words literally. Although some of them have quite a big thesaurus they will always pick the wrong word. Every single time. You can't imagine how 'happy' I feel being able to read as wellDutch, French, German and English. Hardly anything online needs to be translated :D At least nothing I need. :D Translators suck.
