Translate it into Latin and press play and you get something that sounds like music from Gigi D'agostino O.o


Chinese sounds like an airport anouncement...

There are some other letter combinations which will give you different sounds!

But there are some funny things going around at the moment.
This is not translation related, but there are some Google Maps ones that are quite funny as well.

1. Go to Google Maps and Get Directions
2. Write Japan as your start point.
3. Write China as your destination.
4. Go to 43rd point on your route, and when you stop laughing, post this as your status, so that others can laugh too.

AND:

1. Go to Google Maps and Get Directions
2. Write Japan as your start point.
3. Write California as your destination.
4. Go to the 38th point on the directions

Hehehehe....

I found this one on a Latvian social network site: http://tinyurl.com/24a42uv

Interesting... Dec 2, 2010

What I find interesting (while listening to Google's next entry to American Idol) is that apparently, there is some hidden meaning in these syllables because if you actually let Google translate them, they are shifted around quite a bit and/or capitalized.. hmmm....
