Rules
- To take part you must either make a post about THIS contest OR post the above banner on your blog. Link back to to this page and you will be able to post.

- Winner/s will be judged by myself and my judgement is final
- If I decide two people or more should be winners then I will split the credits (This will only happen if 2 or more people give the answer around the same time)
How to play
The goal of this contest is to find out what my original untranslated text was. I have used Yahoo! Babbel Fish translator and put the original text into it. Then I have translated it into FRENCH and then back into ENGLISH and posted the results bellow. The person who translates it will win 10,000 Entrecard credits!
Your job is to find out what the ORIGINAL text was. Once you think you have the original text or close post it in the comments for this post. I will judge all comments and give clues and hints as to what you may have done wrong (Or right).
You can go through the comments and see what other people have used and use their errors to fix your own. All my clues and hints will be posted in comments so check!
This contest will last around one week. If we have a winner before that I will start a new one. Please drop your card in my Entrecard widget if your playing 
If you would like to see the last contest and how it works please go here.

I can’t actually find anything translated very wrong, apart from the ace (as) and has (a), or is there a deeper meaning?
June 5th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Oh yeah, i forgot to add my site.. It’s http://www.xptricks.net The post is up.

Eerik,
Your on the right path… But no its not correct… a lot of errors that make a big difference.
Good try though

I wonder what those words could be that were translated the same..
June 6th, 2008 at 11:47 am
Thanks Eerik but I have a wordpress account. I also HAVE comments moderated on my blogger blog.
I dont appreciate having my private emails plastered in a nasty post on some guys blog as in Lees which he has done
NO WHERE Did I call Him a liar.
I spoke about the times in reference to the comments on here as in they ARE out of order. And I said it wasn’t right. That was all I said
Then in PRIVATE i emailed Lee and elaborated. But as you can see from his posting my PRIVATE emails to him there is still no where that i called him a liar
But Geeze I could have done it publicly couldnt I ? and written my thoughts here, but NO I did it privately but still it was thrown in the public arena. Next time remind me not to be so nice as to try to keep things private. But I am sure that the mere fact that someone can publicly try to shame and embarrass someone for a few PRIVATE Emails will be a lesson to all that will have dealings with Lee. Because Guess what it COULD happen to you, because when people do this it shows their Character.
And you know maybe I *might have* misunderstood, - I haven’t seen anything to change my mind yet to that but If I did misunderstand isn’t it worth giving that person the good grace that they actually did it in private ?
Its shame when someone Questions something that they have to be openly then in public abused when they in fact kept it private to start with.
June 6th, 2008 at 11:52 am
I am just saying Sorry for the misunderstanding. IVe sent Lee a private email. But Just wanted to apologize here as well.
I’m bowing out though from Embarrassment
June 6th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Ok Jane, never mind..
Any other clues Lee? It’s rather difficult to find those differently translated words..
June 6th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Sorry Jane if I insulted you.. You posted a link to your blogger blog, earlier and that’s why I thought you don’t use wordpress…
I’m not trying to insult anyone here.

Where are you Lee?
No comments on the attempts..
June 7th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Ok. Sorry everyone
I just got a new laptop and have been trying to sort it out… I just had enough and have decided to remove Vista and put XP on it 
But im here now.
Ok ill go through them:
@Eerik
Very close like the rest. Still some errors and some missing (Or extra words). Good try
@Mark
God job. You have tried to fix some of the problems and done a good job… still some missing or extra words though… and some words you have replaced are wrong.
@Sandra
You have the same sort of errors as Eerik. very good try though
==
This one seems to be more easy then the last one… Which it was not meant to be
But when we get a winner (I think very very soon!) ill start a new one, but i will make it harder

I am going to try and work this out, but also, I am wondering if anyone has worked out how to get the entrecard to work on livejournal? I can’t get it to work.
Thanks

Lee you haven’t posted here for a while how about another update or better still more clues!
June 24th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Lee, this is getting ridiculous… Are you going to give a hint or announce a winner?
Otherwise, this looks a lot like you enjoyed the traffic but don’t want to give out the credits…
June 25th, 2008 at 1:29 am
Hi, well it looks like I shall have to pick a winner. I dont think anyone is going to get it and some of you have come very very close.
Ill pick a winner tonight and send the credits with it.
Sorry for the lack of input.
