A Hungarian poker site picked up on my recent post about money disappearing from my old UB account. Curious to see what they said, our Esteemed Webmistress ran it through Google Translate. Playing around with GT is always fun, and I especially like seeing what happens when you translate from English into another language and then back to English.
In this case, GT employed much better phraseology than I did. This is an excerpt from the de-translation of the excerpt from my blog that was quoted in Hungarian on the site. Note the bolded phrase, which I swear I am not making up:
“Yesterday I accidentally found it in a spam email in Mail, which informs me that my account is $ 1,040.26.The letter 2010th February 19 dátumozású was only yesterday, but stumbled as the spam filter caught. I thought this is something a refund of the UB Hall of frauds.”
Very funny 🙂
But here’s an explanation:
“poker room” is “poker terem” in hungarian, “hall” can be translated into “nagy terem (big room)”. “Csalás” in hungarian means cheat, but GT found another word for it… And a change of “in” -> “of” and you have it:)
Btw. they have UB’s ad in the middle of the article (somehow it isn’t in yours…), and the whole picture about UB is not as bad as you wrote about them a few days ago.
I love that within an hour of publishing this I have a comment from a Hungarian (doesn’t sound like you’re affiliated with the site in question?) explaining how this could have happened. The internet is awesome!
by far the best part of the article is the UB banner add midway through the article
