I'm pretty sure Google translates Portuguese into Finnish, or vice-versa, in two steps, translating first into English. This seems to be what it does between almost any pair of languages other than English. Maybe there's an exception between French and German.

I haven't tried it out for some time, but the classic example was trying to translate Spanish "el culo" ('the ass', as in 'the buttocks', not 'the donkey') into Portuguese, which should come out as "o cu" or "a bunda", but gave instead "o burro" ('the donkey'), giving away the intermediate translation into English as "the ass".

By the way, you're banned!

Banned because I don't know whether you're talking about spectacles with screensavers.

Banned because screensavers are so "90's" and a screensaver with spectacles looks ridiculous:

Banned because the whole point is for the spectacles to show you a screensaver when you least expect it, rather than let you see the real world around you.

Sorry. I have forgotten what I was going to say. I am sure it was going to be something concise and witty. Just think of something concise and witty and it would probably be twice as concise and witty as that.

Wait. How did I get here?
