Overview
Bad Translator is a simple add-on that abuses Google Translate by force-feeding your text through the Translate algorithm into a random language multiple times, then back to your language.

Results are mixed. You can expect anything from awkward phrasing to complete and total nonsense, depending on your selected distortion level as well as pure chance.

--------OTHER ADD-ONS--------

Also try Fun Text!

Fun Text is a simple word art add-on that can apply a wide range of fun visual effects to your text, allowing you to creatively customize its appearance.

Also try Text Themes!

Text Themes is a simple add-on that applies fun visual themes to your text using a combination of coloring, emoji particles, and other text attributes.

--------UPDATES--------

Version 1.4 is here, I just added a Troubleshoot dialog that might help some users when the add-on stops working.

--------FEATURES--------

-Preset distortion levels 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80

-Custom distortion levels

-The ability to change your starting/ending language

If you have any ideas for new features, you can suggest them to me at thecodercatprojects@gmail.com. I'm always open to new ideas!

is a metaphor that essentially means to disconnect from the digital world and engage with the real world, experiencing nature and the physical environment around you; it's a call to step outside, be present, and acknowledge the world beyond your screen, often used to suggest someone is too focused on online activities and needs to "ground" themselves in reality. Key points about "touching grass": Mental health benefit: The act of being in nature is often linked to reduced stress and improved mental well-being, making "touching grass" a way to encourage self-care and mindfulness. Critical thinking: By encouraging people to step back from their online bubbles, "touching grass" can promote a more balanced perspective and critical thinking about information consumed digitally. Social commentary: The phrase can also be used to criticize excessive online engagement, highlighting the potential disconnect from real-life experiences when spending too much time on devices. Smartest ways to use "touch grass": "Instead of scrolling through endless feeds, go outside and touch grass to appreciate the world around you." "When you feel overwhelmed by online negativity, take a moment to touch grass and reconnect with the present moment." "Sometimes, the best way to gain perspective is to simply touch grass and experience the world firsthand."

leave you Oh-oh-oh You are injured We are no strangers to love You know the law and I (and I) Full commitment in my opinion I can't get it from anyone else. I want to tell you how I feel You should know I won't leave you You will never be disappointed. No running, no personal care You never make me mad I will never say goodbye Don't bother with lies. We have known each other for a long time My heart hurts but I'm too shy to say it (say it) What Happens to Us All (continued) We know the game and we will play it And when they ask how I feel Don't say you are blind never give up I will never leave you. Never leave and never waste your time. I won't let you cry I do not want to say thank you. I won't lie, I won't hurt you. don't give up i won't leave you I will never run away, I will never leave you He didn't cry He will never say goodbye. Don't lie and hurt

For some reason, the preferred language keeps automatically turning to French. Can you fix this bug?
