I was directed to this site today.

You enter an English phrase, and it uses one of the online translators to translate the phrase into Japanese, then back again into English. As you might expect, the second English version is usually not quite the same, so it repeats the process until it finds equilibrium. For example, using Law 7 (Control of Board and Cards) A(Placement of Board):

When a board is to be played, it is placed in the centre of the table until play is completed.

The board is complete when you play and play until you are placed in the center of the table.

After you play when you board until the play is centered on the table.

Around the table to play board games until after when.

When you play board games around the table until after.

Board games around the table until after the time.

Board games around the table until after hours.

Until hours later, board games around the table.

Until an hour later, around a table, board games.

An hour later, around a table, board games.

An hour later, around a table, board games.

Equilibrium! :)

(Have fun...)
