A rough translation of a sentence from Polish into English:


Gdybyśmy zebrali w jednym miejscu grono admiratorów Dom Pérignon choćby tylko z ostatnich kilkudziesięciu lat, moglibyśmy stuknąć się kieliszkami z Andym Warholem, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Christianem Diorem, Grace Kelly i księciem Monako Rainerem III, księżną Dianą i księciem Karolem (na ich wesele wybrano rocznik 1961), z Bono i Lennym Kravitzem, Karlem Lagerfeldem, a także z Jamesem Bondem.<

If it were possible to gather a group of Dom Pérignon lovers in one place, even if only from the last few decades, we would have an opportunity to raise a glass with Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Christian Dior, Grace Kelly and Prince Rainer III, Prince Diana and Prince Charles (their wedding was celebrated with vintage 1961), as well as Bono, Lenny Kravitz, Karl Lagerfeld and James Bond.

Now the version by Deep-L:

If it was possible to gather a group of Pérignon House lovers in one place, even if only from the last few decades, we could raise glass with Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Christian Dior, Grace Kelly and Prince Rainer III, Prince Diana and Prince Charles (their wedding was chosen for the following reasons: "We're going to have a good time", "we're going to have a good time with you"), "we're going to have a good time" family", "we're going to have a good time" family", and "we're going to have a good time" family" with the people who's family are going to live in the city... Prince Charles was elected to be their Prince of Rome.

I must say I haven't read a funnier translation for a long time

I don't get the same translation from deepL
Here's the version I have (with the same source text in Polish obviously)

There are very strange things happening with DeepL! (admiror becomes administrator for some reason).

Here's the translation into Italian:

"Se avessimo riunito un gruppo di amministratori di Casa Pérignon in un unico luogo, anche se solo dagli ultimi decenni, avremmo potuto bussare agli occhiali con Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Christian Dior, Grace Kelly e il Principe Rainer III, il Principe Diana e il Principe Carlo (il loro matrimonio è stato scelto per i seguenti motivi: "Ci divertiremo molto")."

"Ci divertiremo molto" means "We're going to

"Ci divertiremo molto" means "We're going to have a lot of fun" (in Spanish just a few "Nos vamos a divertir"). But yeah, Wojciech's version is MUCH better!

German comes close tho': "Hätten wir eine Gruppe von Pérignon House-Administratoren an einem Ort versammelt, wenn auch nur aus den letzten Jahrzehnten, hätten wir mit Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Christian Dior, Grace Kelly und Prinz Rainer III, Prinz Diana und Prinz Charles (ihre Hochzeit wurde aus folgenden Gründen gewählt: "Wir werden eine gute Zeit haben", "wir werden uns amüsieren", "wir", "wir", "wir", "wir", "wir", "wir", "wir", "wir", "wir", "wir", "wir", "wir", "wir", "wir", "wir".....", "wir", "wir", "wir", "wir"......")."


Also, in order to reproduce this, just choose your target language, refresh the page, paste the Polish version in and wait

If you choose another target language after this, it seems the "glitch" magically disappears.

I wonder if something like this also happens when using the API... (LOL)

To clear things out - the Deep-L translation is copied from the Trados plugin which uses API.
