Because we've all done this before. I'm pretty sure there was a game thread about this quite a while back, so let's try expanding on it a bit.
Person 0 posts a phrase or word.
Person 1 goes to Babelfish, pastes the phrase into the translation box, and chooses what language to translate to. After this, person 1 translates the phrase back to English. Person 1 may, if desired, then translate back to his or her other language and back again multiple times, or may just do one iteration. Person 1 then posts the languages used, the retranslated phrase, and a new phrase or word for the next person.
For example:
Person 0: Epic equipment, please do not use.
Fraze: I will translate between English and Japanese.
Translation: You do not use the epic device.
Next phrase: I came, I saw, I conquered.
Or, if I wanted to do several translations:
Fraze: I will translate between English and Japanese.
After 3 translations: The epic device is not used.
Interestingly, the translation doesn't change after that.
Next phrase: I came, I saw, I conquered.
Alternatively:
Person 0: Want
Fraze: Again, I will translate between English and Japanese
After 10 translations (because I'm lazy and trying to avoid work):
In regard to us in regard to us in regard to us in regard to us in regard to us in regard to us in regard to us in regard to us in regard to us as for us we want in regard to us
Next phrase: I came, I saw, I conquered.
And that's it.
Next phrase (in case you missed it the first three times): I came, I saw, I conquered.
