I was trying to think of a new feature using translation tools but I think it would involve too much programming and shit. So here's a thread detailing some of the horrors of international diplomacy with the use of the Google Translator - http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en
We start with;
All European countries should be friends with each other and help each other out.
The English translator tells the German Ambassador;
Alle europäischen Länder sollten Freunde mit einander sein und heraus sich helfen.
The German translator tells the French Ambassador;
Tous les pays européens devraient être des amis l'un l'autre et s'aider dehors.
The French translator tells the Spanish Ambassador;
Todos los países europeos deberían ser unos amigos uno al otro y ayudarse fuera.
The Spanish translator tells the Irish Ambassador;
All the European countries should be a few friends one to other one and to help itself(himself,herself) out.
Try your own.
Here's a FR/EN/GE/SP one - http://www.reverso.net/textonly/default.asp - notice how you cannot translate German into/from Spanish, a sign?
Here's some more - http://directory.google.com/Top/Science/Social_Sciences/Language_and_Linguistics/Translation/Tools/Translation_Engines/?il=1
