tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346122322012-01-11T20:58:06.261+05:30I can tell you a lot of things about Tamil here... but then you can <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_language">wiki</a> it. I am writing this blog to transliterate Tamil into English with funny results. It works like those free translation tools. "To be or not to be" from English to German translates to "Zu sein oder zu nicht sein" and the same from German to English translates to "To be or be to not". Subtle, but hillarious.RadhaKrishnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14559080618369792936noreply@blogger.comBlogger581100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34612232.post-34788148511309371362009-06-30T19:29:00.000+05:302009-06-30T19:42:14.775+05:30<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Have you ever seen one of these irritating, half-assed, Tamil dubbed versions of English movies on the various Tamil channels.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia;">I recently saw The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy dubbed into Tamil. Not only was it totally idiotic, they changed the story all together.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia;">Every dialogue was changed to something that didn't even resemble what was originally said. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">For instance, there's a scene where Ford Prefect warns the patrons of a bar that the Earth will be destroyed in 10 seconds. The Barkeep (originally) responds by asking him whether they should cover their head with a paper bag or something. In the Tamil Dubbed version, this was changed to the Barkeep asking Ford to stop his insanity.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia;">To someone who hasn't read the book or seen the original movie, I am sure watching it in Tamil would have been bewildering.</span> <span style="font-family: georgia;">Needless to say, I switched channels within 10 minutes.</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />You know what would be great, take an entire movie that has been dubbed in Tamil and transliterate it back in English. </span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">That would be hilarious!!!</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">I will do it someday.</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34612232-3478814851130937136?l=tamiltransliterations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RadhaKrishnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14559080618369792936noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34612232.post-29746436401141288512009-03-21T09:18:00.000+05:302009-03-21T09:21:28.314+05:30Tamil: Aazham paakamal kaalai vidadhe.<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Intended meaning: Look before you leap.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">Transliteration: Depth without looking leg do not leave.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34612232-2974643640114128851?l=tamiltransliterations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RadhaKrishnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14559080618369792936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34612232.post-35623892947754926772009-03-21T09:16:00.001+05:302009-03-21T09:17:31.597+05:30Tamil: Kudigaran Pechchu Vidinja pochu.<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Intended meaning: A drunkard's words are gone when the next day dawns.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Transliteration: Drunkard speech next-day-dawning gone.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34612232-3562389294775492677?l=tamiltransliterations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RadhaKrishnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14559080618369792936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34612232.post-8994794130918901402009-03-21T09:08:00.000+05:302009-03-21T09:15:20.424+05:30Tamil: Maamiyaar udaithaal mann kudam.
