(garbled) Jesus answered, Thou sayest e e that I am a king. Again, Jesus said to Pilate: (partially parallel text, d "sayest" proves it) I was born and, in fact, (raw mode) that everyone d e who belongs to the truth listens to me. (mixed) He says to him: What e p is truth? [From here unknown text to Google, switching to raw mode]: p - Jesus said, Truth is heavenly. Pilate said the countries true? Jesus said - i i to Pilate forward, tell the truth on the ground, as judged by those n who have no power on earth. (Text makes little sense, also due to a n o standard interpretation of “intendere”, having a different sense here.) o i i z Correct literal translation of the above paragraph: z u Pilate says to him: So you are a king? Jesus answered: You say that I u am a king. And again Jesus says to Pilate: I have been born in that d d and came into that, so that anyone who is of truth, hears my voice. a Says Pilate to him: What is truth? || Jesus says to him: Truth is from a r heaven. Says Pilate to him: Is truth not found on earth? Says Jesus to r t t Pilate: Look at him, who is telling the truth on earth, in what manner y he is judged by those, who have power on earth. y b These examples b clearly show the extent to which “Google Translate” relies on parallel text in order to produce acceptable results. e e l l c c i PART 2 TESTING THE APOCRYPHAL TEXT i t t r The following snippets of perfectly simple text unknown to Google from r a the same “Gesta Salvatoris” (Evangelium Nicodemi) show that neither a Google nor the Russian Yandex translator which is reputed to do better for l l Latin than Google, and is included here for that reason, are able to convert a even the most essential short Latin sentences into intelligible English. a n Remember we're dealing with simple, vulgar Latin here, nothing like n i classical Latin.
