Friday Feeling: Turn Google Translate into a beatbox
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater December 3rd, 2010

The return of Friday Fun! It is Friday, isn't it? Good. Well, this little treat has been floating around the internet and generally "doing the rounds" this week but we OBVIOUSLY had to wait until Friday to unleash it on you, otherwise we wouldn't have anything to fill the irregular Friday Fun slot with, would we?!

So, this week's edition regards the ever-useful tool of Google Translate. I found out last week that it doesn't translate from English to Esperanto. Damn. Anyway, there's a neat trick which means you can turn Google Translate into a beatbox, by translating certain sounds from German TO German.

Click here to give it a go! And below to see the picture, just for illustrative purposes and nothing more.
