Ontranslate.google.com , prize English as the original speech communication , type “ I am a flat earther ” into the blank field , and take French as the second spoken language . The set phrase read to “ Je suis un fou , ” which read as “ I ’m a gaga person " when it ’s render back into English by clicking the ikon with the two arrow on it . ( Note : This does n’t mold if " Earther " is capitalized , and it seems to only sour for French . )

A Google spokesman toldCNET , " Translate workings by learning pattern from many millions of examples of translations understand out on the World Wide Web . Unfortunately , some of those patterns can head to wrong translations . The error has been report and we are working on a fix . "

One Reddit userdiscoveredthat the “ world ’s funniest joke ” fromMonty Python ’s Flying Circustranslates to “ [ FATAL mistake ] ” when punch into the translator app . The joke sounds like it ’s in German , but the words are actually gibberish and do n’t translate to anything in particular . In the skit , anyone who pick up the jest dies from laugh .
