EDIT: I had the code pasted in here inside code tags, but I decided to remove it in case I get called up for plagiarism or something silly (I've seen dumb stuff like that happen before ever though the work is original).

Behold my final victory.
My programming assessment piece.

A translator designed to translate a sentence into German and back into English to view its loltastic literal translated form.

It took me a few days of doing related activities to build skills and then take on the beast itself over about 3 or 4 days, reading and researching and teaching myself how to go about doing this using the programming language 'Python'.

I'm so happy that I had to post about it. This is why I want to work with some amount of programming in my future career. The sheer sense of satisfaction of writing a fully functional piece of software.

(I should note that anything preceeded by a '#' (hash symbol) is considered a comment. There's a lot of code that I've commented out (so it's not being used) but have kept there as evidence of my working and discarding of strategies.)

Granted that it's not an incredibly hard piece of software to write once you know what you're doing (and is probably a piece of cake to some of the more talented programmers here I'm sure) but I'm still relatively a n00b when it comes to coding so get off meh >.<

Wow nice work.

Ah the instant translator. Yes our language teachers despised them lmao.

Sometimes because literal translations come out as absolute gibberish.

I told my friend about it, and he told me that he used translators to get through German class.
"Sure, I got a lot of D's, but I got C's sometimes ^_^"

I had many hours of amusement when using Babelfish or similar web translators to translate stuff into other languages (like... English to French to Spanish to Swedish to Italian), then run them backwards and look at the outcome.

It's just occurred to me that I could somehow get done for plagiarism if I have this posted here.

So I'm gonna take down the code. rofl.
