These funny google translate tricks will make Google say hilarious things by using the ” power ” of bad translation. Google translate is a popular feature by the search giant Google where you can input any word or sentence into the text box and google will translate it to almost any language known to men.
But we all know that as much as this feature is awesome, and it really is, the translated words sometimes come out completely wrong or even irrelevant. Google will probably improve the results of the translate algorithm but until they do, there’s no reason not to have a little fun with it.
In the gallery below we collected 20 tricks you can work on Google Translate that result in hilarious outcomes that will definitely make you laugh. We can make Google say funny things just by typing a few words into the search bar and we think it’s pretty cool.
1. The first google translate funny trick is pretty basic, just make Google talk like Flanders from The Simpson.
This is actually not a real thing, so don’t go looking for it on the translate, it’s the creation of Awkward Elevator and they just nailed it. This is exactly how would Ned say these things and that’s why it had to be on this funny google translate list.
2. Make google translate do a beatbox sound

4. Google loves Britney Spears in all languages

This was a funny bug in the google translate world. If you typed Android 2.3.4 in German it was translated to iPhone 2.3.4, but we noticed this was quickly fixed by the google team. But for a while, this made for an hilarious google translate mistake.
7. The Google Vs Facebook battle
If you once typed the phrase ” WE REALLY HATE THIS COMPANY ” and choosed Japanese, you will see the word FACEBOOK. This doesn’t happen anymore, and it’s shame because it’s HILARIOUS! Some people also said that it came out with funny letters but still, too bad it’s not working.
8. Men are men and should clean the house
When you type in the words ” Men are men and men should clean the house ” for some hilarious reason, when you translate it to Spanish it comes out as ” Men are men and women should clean the house” another funny google translate mistake, I guess someone over there thought this should be auto corrected. Not cool big G. Not cool.
9. This is a weird one for sure
If you typed the words ” I will miss Heath Ledger ” and translated it to Spanish, the words ” Voy a perder Tom Cruise “. This is really weird, it also only happens when you tried it with Heath Ledger, any other celebrity name will work just fine. It was later fixed, but you have to wonder how this weird google translate bug every came to be.
10. Bjork is Lalalalala
When you try to translate the word lalalalala from english to Icelandic, the word that will show is Bjork. Which is obviously the famous Icelandic singer and the word lalalalala, but because we don’t speak the language, we will just accept it and any other word in Icelandic. NOT.

For some odd reason, when you type in the word Samsung from english to Romanian, the translation comes out as Sony Ericsson, weird AF, but not the funniest google translate fail on this list to be honest.

Google Translate doesn’t just translate words and phrases for you; it can also translate entire documents, such as plain text and rich-text documents, Microsoft Word documents, and HTML. It can even translate PDFs.
The file-size limit for translating documents (as stated in Google’s FAQs) is 1MB. However, you may have success with larger documents. After all, it doesn’t hurt to try. Keep in mind, the larger the document, the longer the translation will take.
To use Google Translate to translate an entire document, follow these steps and see Figure 1 for reference:
- Open a Web browser and go to translate.google.com. You don’t need a Google account to access it, because it’s free to all.
- Under the text box on the left, click the Translate a Document link.
- Click Browse to navigate to a document on your hard drive that you want to translate.
- Choose the language that the document is in — for example, English.
- On the right, choose the language you want the document translated into — for example, French.
- Click Translate.
The translation appears in a blank browser window (see Figure 2). If you hover over each line, you can see the original English text that it was translated from.
If you think the translation is incorrect, you can contribute your own. When you hover over a line of the translation, click the Contribute a Better Translation link. Type your translation into the text box and click Contribute. Your translation is submitted to Google Translate.
To use the translated text, simply copy and paste it from the browser window into a new document.
Just like other online translation tools, Google Translate is far from perfect. It does have a good reputation for accuracy, but it does make mistakes. So use it with caution. It may work fine in casual situations — for example, if you’re translating a love poem into another language for Valentine’s Day. But if you rely on it for translating official business documents, be very careful. It’s probably better to pay for a reputable translation when business is on the line.
