Like when you auto-translate English -> Japanese -> English. Very unlikely you will recover the original Good fun though.

  By the pigeonhole principle, any such iteration must either enter a cycle, or the translations must be unbounded in length. If you experiment, you will find that Google Translate usually lands in the first category; transpilers usually land in the second.
