I'm actually stunned that the Frozen translation was as good as it was. One language and then back to English, I could see. But the girl said she went through a chain of a dozen languages before getting back to English. And still she got to keep the phrase "the storm is raging" for "let the storm rage on?" That's fucking impressive, Google Translate. I remember a time when you could go to one language and back and it would be completely--and I mean completely--unintelligible.

I for one welcome our new UN overlords.
