Machine translation humour?

[Guest guest]

Dear listmates,

Yesterday, I accidentally found a very funny translation EN>FR,

published on Linguee.

I hope that it was the result of machine translation, not of human

translation.

The EN sentence was the following :

" In babies,an inflamed*, *shinydiaperrash. "

The suggested FR translation was :

" Dans les bébés, une éruptiondecouche-culotteenflammée et brillante. "

Here, the literal back-translation in EN :

" Inside the babies, a blast of inflamed and shiny diaper "

Maybe, they were describing the early years of the Etna or Stromboli

childhood, who knows ? Weren't they cute, those volcano babies ?

Have a great evening,
