At one point I had written a translator using googles language tools. At one point Google added some extra cookie protection so the script no longer works, but here's a friend playing with it:
.trans en sp mother fucker cracker jacks better step the fuck back
sirva de madre a un paso mejor de los gatos de la galleta del fucker la cogida detres
.trans sp en sirva de madre a un paso mejor de los gatos de la galleta del fucker la cogida detres
behind serve as mother to a better step of the cats of the cake of fucker the taken one

grammer changes from language to language, most EU languages derived from Latin, and if we take a look over the latin language we will find sentaces that are not 'gramatically correct' in relation to our home language - this is the same throughout and i respect any site that can convert languages with gramatically correct conversions.

erm asmo, beeing a scandinavian, we do use the latin alphabet, we just added a few chars of our own like æ ä ø ö and å
But our words has roots in our own ancestral tounge. When we where raping the english, we even made them use some of our words, and in northern england, there are still dialects that use norwegian words. Most famous one must be "fjord".

Latin languages are Spanish, French and Italian, who stem directly from Latin. Dutch and German also use the 'latin letters', but they are not Latin languages, but Germanic. And I doubt words from Danish, Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish languages stem directly from Latin, although I am sure here and there a few have been taken up. AFAIK, they are Scandinavian languages.
Then you have English, which is a mix of Germanic and Scandinavian for the bigger part, if I am not mistaken (I assume some Pictish and Gaelic has been taken up as well, despite the wars between the Angel Saks, Picts, Gaels, Vikings, etc).
I was speaking of the language, and not just of the alphabet, and if I read v0rtexio's post correctly ("... changes from language to language, most EU languages derived from Latin ..."), he also spoke of language and not alphabet. I ofcourse fully agree with alphabets comming from latin ;)
Edit: fjord has been taken up as firth in Scottish (mostly english with native (gaelic and pictish) elements). But mostly just in names (Moray Firth, Firth of Tay, Firth of Forth, etc), as the common name for such large waterbodies (both fresh and salt water) is now loch, which stems from gaelic. If your interested, I once made a study of Scottish distillery names where you can see wonderfull examples how some names have been comming from old languages and changed quite a bit over time (Ladybank for example, sounds so English, but it comes from the Gaelic Leathad-bog, which means boggy slope).

Cool.
Btw. my facts where based on a discovery program I watched on how vikings influenced the english language. ..and I specially remember fjord, becaus all english dialects, american, aussie pronounce it correct from norwegian. There was also a influence on kirke, meaning church. cant quite remember who used the norwegian word for it, but it was probably some northern UK'ers too

Especially on the north-east, and west coast of Scotland you will find many place names who come directly from Scandinavia. Like Brora which comes from old Norse, and from the westcoast Islay (Danish) and Jura (also old Norse).

I never thought posting that log/quote would have started such a discussion. Very interesting read though.
