A little test 
To be, or not to be: that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them.
English --> French --> German --> English
In order to be not to be or in order: it is the question. If it is nobler in the spirit, in order to suffer the zuegel and the arrows of the unworthy fortune. Or over the arms against a sea of the problems and by the opposition to take terminate them.
...oh dear 
Ciao!

I guessed that that post would probably be gibberish.
Apparently I gave the French speakers on site an amusing time with some of the 'translated' headers on my page and additions to my name when I decided to be 'French' a couple of months ago. And *that* is a language that I studied for 6 years, but still didn't spot the gaffs
