Google Translate Fail Generator

Behold, the crappiest (translate extension) project ever!

It takes whatever string you put into it, translates it as many times as defined, and outputs the final result!

Or in nerd terms, it points out the flaws of Google Translate by taking your string, translating it in several (random) languages, and showing how there can be inconsistencies when Google Translate translates a string.

Basically, this automates breaking a string by putting it in Google Translate, translating it, and then taking that translated string and translating it in another language several times.

As a bonus, I made it so that all text the project shows is translated to the current language the Scratch website is set to (using Google Translate of course!).

Additionally, I made it so that before the final result is shown, the translation process is also shown, so you can see how broken your string gets over time.

I made this for two reasons:
- Because I couldn't find something like this online (seriously, all you have to do is use the Google Translate API).
- Because why not.

Enjoy.

P.S. Sorry that I couldn't find a better name for this project. If you have any suggestions for a better one, tell me.

There once was a boy named Harry
Destined to be a star
His parents were killed by Voldemort
Who gave him a lightning scar
Yo, Harry
You a wizard
Harry goes to Hogwarts
He meets Ron and Hermione
McGonagall requires he play for Gryffindor
Draco is a daddy's boy
Quirrell becomes unemployed
The sorcerer's stone is destroyed by Dumbledore
Ron breaks his wand
Now Ginny's gone
And Harry's in mortal danger
Tom Riddle hides
His snake inside
His ginormous secret chamber
Harry blows up Aunt Marge
The dementors come and take charge
Lupin is a wolf
The rat's a man
And now the prisoner is at large
They use time travel so they can
Save the prisoner of Azkaban
Who just so happens to be Harry's godfather
I don't really get it either
Harry gets put in the Triwizard Tournament
With dragons and mermaids
Oh no, Edward Cullen gets slayed
He's back
Harry, Harry, it's getting scary
Voldemort's back and you're a revolutionary, Harry
Dumbledore, Dumbledore
Why is he ignoring your constant attempts to contact him?
He is forced to leave the school
Umbridge arrives, Draco's a tool
Kids break into the Ministry
Sirius Black is dead as can be, oh
Split your soul, seven parts of a whole
They're horcruxes, it's Dumbledore's end
There once was a boy named Harry
Who constantly conquered death
But in one final duel between good and bad
He may take his final breath
