Rather amusing Google Translate glitch

Apparently a glitch was found in Google Translate where the word "Russia", translated from Ukrainian to Russian translates as "Mordor".

I had to snicker a little bit.

I always knew SOMETHING was up with Russia, what with the volcanoes and all.

There is no telling what anything will get translated to with Google Translate! I've lately been really into these videos where a woman does parodies of songs where the lyrics have been run through several layers of Google Translate, and things get REALLY botched!!

I also have done quite a few of my own translations, including several LBT songs! I don't have them public anywhere though.

Typing "ooga booga" and making Google Translate think you're typing in Somali is funny as well.

I just tried that, but it just got translated to "ooga booga".
