Do I have to compare thee with a summer's day?
William Shakespeare
Your computer may be able to make 1,000,000,000,000 calculations every second, but can it translate basic sentences into other languages without hilariously changing them almost beyond recognition?
Machinese Whispers are well-known English phrases translated to and from languages from Korean to Catalan via automatic internet translation machines.
Enter the bizarre mind of your PC, and find out what it makes of some of Shakespeare's most famous lines, classic song lyrics, and even the Lord's Prayer!
