Hi gralin musicteeth!

I assume that you mean that you don't know how to play this mistranslated quotes game. And since there are probably others also in the dark, I hope I can illuminate.

An exact quote from one of the books is entered into an online translation engine such as
Babel Fish or InterTran once or a number of times to scramble it. (Such as English to French to Spanish to Mandarin to English again.) Then it is posted.

How to unscramble it is your own lookout!
