I'm messing about with the alta vista babelfish dodad at the mo - particually translating from one language and back again.
so lets try:

I love little flowers. I also love little puppies.

via japanese: I love the small flower. In addition as for me the small puppy is loved.

via portuguese: I love small flowers. I also love small younglings of dog.

via chinese: I love the young flower. I and love the young puppy.

hmm fair enough. time for a more complex sentence I think:

I would love to go on holiday to Japan but I suspect that it would be very expensive.

Japanese: I think that we would like to go to holiday in Japan, but very is doubted high thing.

Spanish: It would love going the holiday to Japan but I suspect that he would be very expensive.

Russian: I would fall in love with to go to the holiday to Japan but 4 podozryuyu it was very expensive.

ok korean is scarey: Me wanting but I, suspect the holiday for thing in Japan the thing.

I should do more of this when I have the time...

which gives

I love the small flower. Furthermore, I love the small little dog.


I need to love going on the holiday to Japan. However, I doubt whether it will be very expensive.
