Finally got some pics up from my Maui trip back in August.

Does anyone out there know Arabic? Someone left a comment on a Facebook pic and Google Translate isn't doing a good job. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Google translate and Babylon both bring back words like "cursed" and "blood" within the translation
- Justin Korn
I can kind of read it, but I can't translate it. No help. :) But check Farsi. It doesn't look like Arabic to me.
- Anika
Thanks for trying Anika. Google pics it up as Arabic. When trying "Persian" (as Google puts it) it comes back even more jumbled.
- Justin Korn
Oh well...I also want to tell you again, how much I adore the layout of your blog. It's very nice.
- Anika
HA! Well, thank you Anika! I really do appreciate it :)

from IM
Justin, what you copy-pasted into first comment translated via my http://translatorize.com script (uses Google Translate API) renders: "O cursed Abu Shaklak Sbe Yally Laura, and one sitting Manik this topic and Elly Elly base before the hate in her blood violin"
- Micah Wittman
Micah - Thanks. This is the same exact translation I received (obviously since I used Google Translate). This jumble of English words doesn't make any sense to me.
- Justin Korn
from IM
Thought it would match. But, I wasn't sure if you explicitly set the language and if the auto-detect API method might detect a different language. Anyway, let me know if you come across any good deals on blood violins ;)
- Micah Wittman
Bumping to see if the night crowd has anything to add :)
- Justin Korn
I can't believe there's no one here who's able to translate this for you!
- Anika
Maybe Google Translator can help you to translate it!
- Amin
Amin - I've already tried Google Translator (see above).
- Justin Korn
Oh sorry. List of comments were not expanded. I didn't see it.
- Amin
one more bump for the late night crew...
- Justin Korn
It is seems that he was upset because of the picture. I can't translate it latterly as it is written in Slang, maybe this is why Google translator isn't doing a good job. Its translation is something like this "cursed you who set in the back and also this one who set in the front of him with the hate appearing on her"
- Yasmeen Mohamed
If you allowed, I added you on Facebook, in try to reach the picture and maybe can give a better translation.
- Yasmeen Mohamed
Yasmeen, thanks! your translation was close enough for me to understand what this person was trying to say.

Yuvi (http://friendfeed.com/yuvipan...) created a script that takes snippets of things Mona (and Louis Gray, for that matter) would likely say, mashes them up, and creates new tweets. Due to its automatic nature, results are wildly inconsistent. Auto Louis Gray is here: http://twitter.com/autolg
