szaleniec1000 on LJ put up some examples of badfic dialogue after multiple runs through Google Translate, and I thought it may be fun. Here's the first paragraph of legolas by laura, run through Chinese, French, Latin, and back to English:

"Legolas was riding through the woods one day, he found colth whaped baby, so he took a horse, go baby, then Legolas said, "who has given up the attempt to keep the baby just cryed and Legolas, Legolas, and then the baby to stop crying and said," is the name of Laura, "and Legolas, and the baby has received a horse to the lived.Legolas said, "it has been given and the Father, for me," I have found a small citadel already got up and went down in the woods Legolas His mother said, "How do the dead child he put in the woodsand Legolas then the father has said," we wish to become a sound, Legolas, therefore, someriseing is happy."

Disappointingly coherent, especially compared to the original ;)
