Twisted Translations (originally Google Translate Sings, and then Translator Fails) is a web series created by Malinda Kathleen Reese in which she takes songs by famous artists, runs the lyrics through several languages in Google Translate and back into English until they barely resemble the original text, and then performs the song with the new lyrics. Hilarity Ensues.The series has grown since it started, and Malinda now often dresses up as the characters she portrays, and sometimes incorporates location shooting in her videos. Many videos also features other YouTubers in singing parts. As of July 15th 2014, viewers can now contribute to the show by submitting their own bad translations to Malinda. Occasionally, they will translate things that aren't songs, such as instructions and poems. In December 2020 the channel was rebranded Twisted Translations and expanded to include collaborator Tom McGovern. On February 2024, during a video commemorating the 10th anniversary of the channel, Malinda stated that, while she's still open to the idea of doing more videos, she feels that the series is more or less "complete," citing how how the improvement of translation technology has made it harder to make the translations as funny as before, as well as a general desire to focus on her original work.The series can be found here. | |

Twisted Translations (Web Video) / int_108c268e | comment |
Hotter and Sexier: Played With for the music video for the translation of the Miley Cyrus song Wrecking Ball is more sexual than Malinda's previous videos. However, compared to the original video, it's downright chaste. Lampshaded in Problem. In Stitches, the singer mentions that they think that they are a cock and turns nude at end of the video. | |

Immediate Self-Contradiction: In "For the First Time in Forever": In "Look What You Made Me Do", Taylor Swift says she's guilty, then says she's not guilty the very next line. The title character of "Alexander Hamilton" gives his name as "Alexander Lukashenko" only to say that it isn't his name a line later. "Into the Unknown" begins with Elsa saying, "I can hear you, but I can't hear you". | |

Anachronism Stew: Some lyrics mention technologies such as email and the internal combustion engine when they haven't been invented in-universe. Lampshaded in "You'll Be Back", where King George III gets confused after singing about airplanes. (Interestingly enough, he doesn't seem to be confused about the "flying machines" mentioned earlier in the song.) | |

Funny Background Event | |
Twisted Translations (Web Video) / int_26eb6287 | comment |
Funny Background Event: The "Step in Time" segment of the Mary Poppins has Brian-as-Bert having some serious trouble walking. In the background, Malinda-as-Mary is walking alongside him completely normally while staring at him in bewilderment, before finally Facepalming. As Malinda sings the last chorus of "Love The Way You Lie" in the Eminem medley, Tom is in the background fooling around with a wiffle ball bat and, later, two bottles of mustard, both of which were props from earlier parts of the video. A particular funny part has him spinning the bat and briefly breaking character as it goes flying out of his hands, only to quickly catch himself and go back to his previous scowling expression. | |

Quarreling Song | |
Twisted Translations (Web Video) / int_2924b198 | comment |
Quarreling Song: Kind of. Her Cinderella parody has the singers (played by Malinda Acting for Two) trying to upstage each other and barely hiding their rivalry behind Stepford Smiler masks, turning a duet into a duel. She does the same thing in her "Once Upon a Dream" translation. Except now, one of the princesses is singing the original lyrics while the other is singing the translated ones. | |

Narcissist: "Mariah Carey," who just loves herself. Megara from Hercules has an entire song about this, though you could also interpret it as being about self-acceptance. Anna mentions that she loves herself in From the First Time in Forever, apropos nothing. "Garnement"note Garnet in "Stronger Than You" repeatedly sings "I love who I am" Subverted with Scar and Donald Trump. | |

Twisted Translations (Web Video) / int_3255968b | comment |
Implied Death Threat: In "For the First Time in Forever", Anna says, "I know that everyone is ending tomorrow; why, they are the 1st". "Beauty and the Beast" has the line "I could not be seen, but it kills", accompanied by Belle raising a knife. One of the gems in "Steven Universe" says, "I shoot him", and then appears to deny it later in the song saying "I did not hurt my friend". "Despacito" has the lines "I want to get rid of your throat" and "I killed without problems". A bit more obvious in "No Tears Left to Cry" with the line "I'll kill him". "New Rules" has the line "I will have to attack again". | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
Twisted Translations (Web Video) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Google Translated "Be Prepared" turns Scar from a sociopathic Big Bad who wants to kill his brother into a Reasonable Authority Figure who is willing to starve for his subjects, promises the height of living conditions, interesting new products, religious educators, disease control code, knows that there is a problem in Latin America and is even humble about becoming a king. If only he wasn't a Cloud Cuckoolander who always wanted to be a taxi… In "Hellfire", Frollo admits to his criminal neglect of the Middle East and Africa, and notes that he improved their oil supply (though he had to use Satanic power to do so). Depending on how you interpret the last line, he may even be helping Esmerelda hide from the authorities. A slight example in "Mother Knows Best", in which Mother Gothel admits that she understands parents are supposed to be supportive. Ramses decides to let the Jews go in "The Plagues" after being told "Come on!" While Ling isn't villainous, he cut poverty in his school gymnasium, giving himself a thumbs up. Maui does not imprison Moana in a cave at the end of "You're Welcome"; he just leaves in the boat, calling back to her that he loves her, while she looks on from the beach. | |

The Parody Before Christmas: In "Google Translate Ruins 'Twas the Night Before Christmas", Malinda recites the poem, alongside a version of the poem that's been butchered by Google Translate. The translated version is something of a Dark Parody, containing lines like "His team was bleeding" and "He stuck his head in the oven". | |

The Diss Track: Sometimes, the Translation Train Wreck results in lines coming off as unintentionally mean and turning the song into a diss track: Subverted for "You've Got a Friend in Me", where the woman singing the translated lyrics is initially very rude to the one singing the actual lyrics, claiming that they're not friends and no one loves her, but then they make up and become friends. In "Friend Like Me", Genie is insulting Aladdin for not having any friends (possibly because Genie's girlfriend likes Aladdin). | |

Formula-Breaking Episode | |
Twisted Translations (Web Video) / int_670db7d7 | comment |
Formula-Breaking Episode: Several videos have broken away from the Translator Fails formula in various ways. "Blank Space" doesn't have a music video. Instead, it consists entirely of Google images. "Translator Fails MEETS SIRI!!" is not an actual song. Instead, it has Malinda reading out quotes from previous translations to Siri. Then there is Donald Trump's quotes and tweets according to Google Translate, which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. She also made Translator Fails:Hamlet, where she reads Hamlet's Soliloquy, as translated by Google. "HARRY POTTER meets GOOGLE TRANSLATE" is one of the biggest diversions from the usual format: It's done as sort of a quiz show, where Malinda challenges guests Brizzy Voices and Tessa Netting to guess the correct versions of google translated quotes and names from the Harry Potter books and films. "GOOGLE TRANSLATE LIKES FEET?? A Q&A" involves Malinda translate questions she was asked on a Q&A on her Instagram. So far, there are three videos that follow this format, and Malinda usually tries to genuinely answer them. One video takes one of Andrew Huang's songs and puts them through several layers of autocaptions instead of Google Translate. The 21 Pilots medley features guest star Elise Ecklund's live ukulele playing, rather than using a prerecorded backing track that emulates the original music. "Google Translate Explains Game of Thrones" is a summary of Game of Thrones translated. | |

Translation: "Yes" | |
Twisted Translations (Web Video) / int_78f6bb9b | comment |
Translation: "Yes": Both this trope and its inverse appears frequently. For instance, in "One Day More," the lyrics "One more dawn, one more day." are translated as "There is also a morning, a day." The Title Drop in ''A Whole New World'' is translated as "He adventure that is an entire world tin of innovation!" The ultimate example happens in ''Christmas (A Capella,)) where "Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums" becomes "Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency, the roots of the many of the trumpets sound and the value of the tummies turkey." The music and the chorus are forced to stop so that Malinda has time to catch up. For the First Time in Forever, turns the line "I'll be dancing through the night." into "Prom." Make a Man Out of You, changes "Say goodbye to those who knew me!" into "Goodbye!" My Heart Will Go On seems to be full of these. "Far across the distance" turns into "remote", "once more, you open the door" into "unlock the door", "there's nothing I fear" into "terrible", a literal example where "far" turns into "yes"... In Thriller, the line "And realize that there's nowhere left to run" is translated as "Popcorn". Be Prepared changes "But thick as you are" to "fat". Later on, "We're going to kill him, and Simba too" becomes "cereal." Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas translates the line "From now on our troubles will be miles away" as "My lord, two kilometers to the management to bid you welcome, and the cannon shot a soldier". There is another literal example in Journey to the Past, where "somewhere down this road" is translated as "yes" and "yes yes". There is yet another literal example in All I Want For Christmas Is You where "is" is translated to "yes". There are a few examples from the ABBA medley. For example, "Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie" becomes "I'm stupid". In All Star, "All that glitters is gold" is translated as "Poland". The Plagues turns "serving as your foe on his behalf" into "subscriber" and "then let my heart be hardened" into "girlfriend". The Sound of Silence turns "Hello darkness, my old friend" into "Hey, dark, hi" and "I've come to talk with you again" into "Let's talk". In Google Translate does my Night Time Routine, "I'll then turn out the light in my herb garden, the lights in the apartment, and then I tuck into bed." becomes "Includes Includes." In Google Translate Explains How to Wash Your Hands, "Rinse the soap off with running water. Turn off the faucet with a towel." becomes "Soap". In Never Gonna Give You Up, "Never gonna say goodbye" is translated into "Boomerang". | |

Right Way/Wrong Way Pair | |
Twisted Translations (Web Video) / int_7a748834 | comment |
Right Way/Wrong Way Pair: In 2018, Malinda created a new sub-series that reads a normal sentence followed by its Google translated form. So far, she has done this to read pick-up lines, hate comments, American congressional documents, beauty product commercials, a workout video, a morning routine, a weather report, horoscopes, an airplane safety guide, a Game of Thrones recap, a meditation session, Twitter bios, the letter that came with Malinda's Gold Play Button for reaching a million subscribers, a reading of "T'was the Night Before Christmas", and a handwashing tutorial. Those in successive steps eventually lead to the two versions diverging greatly in results, as shown with a makeup tutorial, assembly instructions, a cake recipe, a dinner recipe, and a nighttime routine. | |

Accidental Misnaming | |
Twisted Translations (Web Video) / int_af616e40 | comment |
Accidental Misnaming: Translation often gets characters' names wrong. Elphaba calls Glinda "Glitter" in For Good. Later, in Defying Gravity, she calls her "Greenda." This seems to be a common problem in Oz, given that What Is This Feeling has the other students call Glinda "Garinda". Glinda has her revenge in Popular where she calls Elphaba "Elf baba" and "Miss Elfava". Take Me or Leave Me has Maureen calling Joanne "Lynette." Mary from Mary Had a Little Lamb is randomly referred to as "Sarah" at one point. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer is referred to as both "Walldorf" and "Rudolpeueul." While Santa Claus is called "Santa Fe" or "Grandpa Frost" note The equivalent of Santa Claus in Russia (and other Slavic countries) is called Дед Мороз (Ded Moroz), which literally translates to "Grandfather Frost". Also, Dasher gets called "Warner" and Dancer gets called "Dance Lady", while Vixen is referred to as "Fox", Cupid as "Cupidon", Donner as "Donor" and Blitzen as "Sparkle". In "You're Welcome", Maui seems to think Moana's name is "Cecilia". In "This is Halloween," the titular line becomes "State of Arizona." And this town of Halloween becomes the "City of San Jose". Malinda herself has been called "Malanda", "Melinda", "Lovely Foot", and "Marlow eggs". In "Mother Knows Best", Mother Gothel calls Rapunzel "Lettuce"note this is because the plant "rapunzel", which the original fairy tale character was named after, is also called "lamb's lettuce". The name Delilah naturally comes up a lot in "Hey There Delilah", and it's never translated the same way twice: some are moderately close ("Dolly", "Daril"), others less so ("Barry Delida" note Admittedly it seems like it was "hey there" that somehow got translated into "Barry" and the rest is fairly close, "Yummy Yummy") Google Translate somehow turns Alexander Hamilton into both Alexander Lukashenko and Hamilton Alaska. The narrator of "My Name Is" is apparently named Al, but two other characters first guess his name is "Bongo" or "Soup". Pepa refers to her brother Bruno as "Ryan" in "We Don't Talk About Bruno." | |

Catchphrase | |
Twisted Translations (Web Video) / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catchphrase: Due to some of the repeated lines being translated as one (often nonsensical) thing and songs being sung by one character, these characters sometimes appear to have catchphrases. Ursula's appears to be "The spirit of abysmal despair". Simba's initially appears to be "I do not know a king", although he doesn't say it in "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?". Elsa's appears to be "Do not let them, do not let them see." One of the Snow Whites' appears to be "Bond theme!" Ariel's appears to be "Some parts of the world" Lumiere's appears to be "Be our guestroom". Maui's appears to be "Never mind". Mother Gothel's appears to be "Money is good". Genie seems to have two: "You do not have friends" and "You do not have a friend". | |

The video for "Into the Unknown" was just packed with jabs at Frozen II. Malinda consistently takes shots at Donald Trump. For example, when the translated lyrics to "Never Gonna Give You Up" say "do not speak impulsively", Trump's photo appears onscreen. | |

Hypocritical Humor: Elphaba in the "Popular" video becomes the Meta Girl and outright states how strange the lines Glinda sang. This is despite how she ended up singing similar lines in previous Wicked videos. One of the lines in ""La vie En Rose" is translated into "let me make sense" - as usual, the rest of the translated lyrics don't make much sense. | |

Lost in Translation | |
Twisted Translations (Web Video) / int_b7920c43 | comment |
Lost in Translation: Many translated lines result from an ambiguity or translation error from a specific language. In "Hamlet", the line "For in that sleep of death what dreams may come" becomes "Asleep of death, might come what Yume". In Japanese, the word for dream is 夢 (yume). In "Hello", the line "I'm sorry" becomes "Apple". In Korean, the word 사과 (sagwa) can mean "apology" or "apple". In "When Will My Life Begin", the line "Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess" becomes "Purple paper, brooch, and failure". In French, the word échecs means "chess", but its homophone échec means "failure". In "Google Translate does my Night Time Routine", the line "The shave butter helps fight razor burns and ingrown hairs" becomes "Avocado helps fight tongue and hair". In Vietnamese, the word bơ can mean "butter" or "avocado". In "I'll Make A Man Out Of You", "You're the saddest bunch I've ever met" becomes "you are a depressed banana I met" because of ambiguities in the English language - "sad" can either mean "pathetic" or "depressed", and a "bunch" can be a group of either people or bananas, so you can sort of see where Google translate turned "the saddest bunch" into "a depressed banana". In "Google Translate Makes A Mask", "gloves" becomes "hand shoes" - The word for "gloves" in German is "Handschuhe", which does literally mean "handshoes". The name Bruno means "brown" in Spanish, so in "We Don't Talk About Bruno", references to "chocolate" and "burgundy" note technically a dark shade of red, but looks brown-ish, are probably attempts to translate the proper name as a color. There are many songs where "baby" is translated to "child", "children" or "infant". The distinction between the literal (a young human) and figurative (a term of affection, which is what the word "baby" was originally used to mean in these songs) senses of the word understandably erodes after the layers of translation - other languages don't use the word "baby" in the same way that English does. In "Bohemian Rhapsody", "sent shivers down my spine" becomes "chicken skin". Presumably, "shivers down my spine" became "goosebumps" at one point, which translates to "nổi da gà " (literally, "to have chicken skin") in Vietnamese. In "Mercy" from the Shawn Mendes medley, "Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?" becomes "Oh please, thank you, good morning Libby". The Hebrew for "my heart" is "libi" which could then become "Libby". | |

Shout-Out | |
Twisted Translations (Web Video) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Google Translate can actually create these purely by accident. "I'm lovin' it." "Do not want" pops up quite a bit. "Anyway, I am a man." It is very important to have one D." "Hello Kitty!" "Pearl is in my texts." Hellfire might take the cake, as it references Madonna (who is really a man), The Little Mermaid, Hades and The Phantom of the Opera. "I see famous people!" "Desperate ablution On the Gorillaz Tracks". During "Blank Space", a picture of Wally from Where's Wally? can be seen during the "Where are you?" line. "BlazBlue can touch time. And the last one is incredible." "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is interrupted by a different song when one of the lines is translated as "And I will always love you". In a similar vein, The Greatest Showman Medley has "Come alive" translated to "Stay alive" so a bit of disco is thrown in. | |

Spiritual Antithesis | |
Twisted Translations (Web Video) / int_ce2969d8 | comment |
Spiritual Antithesis: In really bad cases, the translations can be this to the original song. In Wrecking Ball, for instance, the line "I didn't mean to start a war," is translated as "I meant to start a war." "Let It Go" becomes "Give Up." In the Shawn Mendes compilation, "Please have mercy on me" becomes "Please crush me." "Hellfire" turns "It's not my fault!" into "This is my crime!" "Go The Distance" is turned from Hercules eagerly starting his adventure into Hercules refusing to go on an adventure at all. Two lines from "Dancing Queen" in the ABBA medley get this treatment. "Only seventeen" becomes "only seventy", and "you can dance" becomes "you cannot do it". "Despacito", which means "slowly", is translated into "quickly", and the song speeds up to reflect this. The original "Thriller" is spooky in a fun way. The translation goes into Mood Whiplash between creepy ("Now you have to fight for your life tomorrow") and super cheerful ("Have fun, and enjoy being sunny in the day"). In the BTS parody, "More, more more" from Blood Sweat and Tears is translated as "Too much, too much, too much". "You've Got a Friend in Me" becomes "you're not a friend". "You ain't never had a friend like me" becomes "you do not have a friend". New Rules, a song about setting rules to cut yourself off from your ex, has "Two, do not let him go" and "I am angry about the new rules". Similarly, "Three, Don't be his friend" becomes "Yes, friends" note although a later translation of the same line is "do not make friends - no friends" In "You're Welcome", "I can explain every natural phenomenon" becomes "I can not describe the natural area". Interestingly, the song goes on to describe the natural area. | |

Reaction Shot: "Poor Unfortunate Souls" is interspersed with shots of Ariel looking confused by the new lyrics. "Try Everything" shows Judy and Nick looking increasingly baffled as the song goes on, culminating in Judy Facepalming. | |

Unexplained Recovery: Zazu suffers a Hollywood Heart Attack in "I Just Can't Wait to be King", but is perfectly fine two lines later. The main Malinda also has a heart attack in "Total Eclipse of the Heart", which makes one of the backup Malindas ask if anyone's going to call 911 before the main one gets right back up and continues singing as though it didn't happen. In "You're Welcome", Maui collapses and starts dying from sun exposure, but immediately dismisses it with a cheery "Never mind!" and carries on like nothing happened. | |
