    Do you have any idea what a translation is? Aristotle spoke English, obviously, but Socrates didn’t so it was translated for him in Ancient Greek

      That’s when Google turns English into other languages. But the ancient greeks spoke modern English.

        Close, but no. It’s the other way around. Why would you want to turn something intelligible into gibberish? That ain’t doesn’t make no sense! It’s turning other languages into English to understand them.

        That kinda contradicts my first statement but that heightens the chance that at least one of my statements is true. And since both disagree with yours, best chance is yours is wrong.

          To help the gibberish people understand, of course! It’s so sad when people speak languages other than English. We have to help them

            That doesn’t make any sense! I think I need an English translation of the gibberish you’re talking

              Um die Gibberish-Leute zu helfen, es zu verstehen! Mir tun die Leute sehr leid, die andere Sprachen als Englisch sprachen müssen. Wir müssen ihnen helfen 😢
