The original text is this quote from E. Santos Discepolo, lifted off of Alex's blog:
"Tango is not about what is done, but how it is done".One has to wonder what the original, original quote actually said :-)
Original English Text:
Tango is not about what is done, but how it is done
Translated to French:
Tango n'est pas au sujet de ce qui est fait, mais de la façon dont il est fait
Translated back to English:
Tango is not about what is made, but way in which it is made
Translated to German:
Tango ist nicht über, was gebildet wird, aber Methode, in der sie gebildet wird
Translated back to English:
Tango is not over, which is formed, but method, in which she is formed
Translated to Italian:
Tango finito, che è formato, ma metodo, in cui è formata
Translated back to English:
Ended Tango, that it is formed, but method, in which it is formed
Translated to Portuguese:
Tango terminado, aquele é dado forma, mas o método, em que é dado forma
Translated back to English:
Finished Tango, that one is given form, but the method, where form is given
Translated to Spanish:
Tango acabado, aquél se da la forma, pero el método, donde se da la forma
Finished tango, that one occurs the form, but the method, where the form occurs

I know what you mean Nuit! I spent too much time over there translating all sorts of things and snorting out loud with hilarity.
This is funnier that the game of Telephone! No wonder there's so much misinformation in the world!
Cherie, I think this is how they translate those instruction manuals...
lffluJohanna, that is too f**king brilliant. I am always wondering what you could possibly come up with next!
Please ignore the lfflu part...that was where Blogger made me type in the secret code to prove that I am not a cyborg, and true to human nature, I f**ked it up.
Yay! Now I get to type in another password!
TB, I'll take brilliant anyway I can get it. Thank you.
