Translation using AI

Going further in, I decided to throw the first verse of the Jabberwocky poem by Lewis Carroll which seems to translate into something similar. but doesn't hold the original value of the poem necessarily. 


It particularly gets fun when doing a reverse translation from the Japanese translation back to the English one resulting in this.


Particularly it seems to struggle with converting the katakana back into the original English text since it doesn't really have anything to base the translation on other than the katakana in its most standard form and cannot guess that we need a variant to be used.
