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.

Although they may be using somewhat later versions, this is the kind of software
our Depts of State, Homeland Security, Defense,... etc are relying upon
to keep us "safe".
