These are the rules:

First, I just type in any sentence in english.
Then I went on Google Translate and picked out a language. (Try not to make it too hard.)
Now, I copy and paste what the foreign sentence looks like, and I have all of you try to guess what language the sentence is in now.
Please don't guess again until someone else has but didn't get it.
To the person who guesses correctly, I will give them the link or they can go on their own.
I will post a notice that someone guessed correctly so please don't worry.

Okay, I will go first.

English
I am in fifth grade.

Other Language
Jag är i femte klass.

Yes, congratulations! One more rule though, do not go on the translator to get the answer (If you did, I'll still have you as winner because I didn't tell you.)

Alright, here is the link to the translator so you can have people geuss your language and you can give them the notice when they are correct.

Of course! Always!

It's a pretty short list of Languages, really :
Languages available for translation:

Afrikaans Albanian Arabic Belarusian Bulgarian Catalan Chinese
Croatian Czech Danish Dutch English Estonian Filipino Finnish
French Galician German Greek Haitian-Creole Hebrew Hindi Hungarian
Icelandic Indonesian Irish Italian Japanese Korean Latvian Lithuanian
Macedonian Malay Maltese Norwegian Persian Polish Portuguese
Romanian Russian Serbian Slovak Slovenian Spanish Swahili Swedish
Thai Turkish Ukrainian Vietnamese Welsh Yiddish

English: It was the best of times, the worst of times.
Translation: Bol to najlepšie časy, najhoršie časy.

That sounds Eastern European to me, so I am guessing... Bulgarian ?

Can't be Bulgarian. Bulgarian uses the same alphabet as Russian.
May be Polish.
