Basically a random game I thought of whilst wondering if translators could ever instantly translate large chunks of german homework.

Basically think of a common phrase, run it through translation as many times as you want and with any language you feel like, until you're back in English, then post it here and people have to guess what the phrase was - whoever gets it right, gets the privilige of posting their own translation.

This particular one was just translated back and forth once into Korean, on Babelfish and received this phrase:

It reaches and the insect which dawns it seizes

I'm hoping the system works and if not I hope it will work out :)

A penny saved is a penny earned?!

I did mine in four languages but it was SO weird I didn't think that anyone would get it. So, I reduced to three languages.

It could not strike the broad aspect of an attic

Nope. "World" is the only correct noun in there.

As a hint, the meaning of mine somehow got changed through the various translations, but some of the key words are the same. ;)
