Comment on Lorem Ipsum translated by Google

Comments

I was going to jump in and suggest that google's statistical translation methods were being thrown off by lipsum being used in so many strange contexts, but it turns out "Lorem Ipsum" is a mangled nonsensical version of the original text:

Thank you. 'Lorem Ipsum' isn't Latin. Translation tools, dictionaries, or your old high school text books are not going to help you 'get it right.'

This is probably an Easter Egg.

The original is translated much better.
