Back in the 80s, there was a small piece in Omni magazine where they talked about early machine translation efforts and the phrase, “Out of sight, out of mind,” translated to Russian and back became “Invisible insanity.” This process gave me “To see, thoughts.” My writing group’s website was scraped and translated into Chinese for a gambling spam site (I don’t really understand why).
