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!

I think this extension broke but considering this says it was last updated in 2022 (i think) it will probably not be fixed. What a shame. It was a really good extension.

I loved this, but only the help menu pops up. I've had this for a couple of years, but no matter what I do now it is just the help menu. Fix this please.
