I took a paragraph from The Lord of the Rings and put it through Google Translate about 100 times. It's the last paragraph in the chapter "Helm's Deep." Here's the original:
The hosts of Isengard roared, swaying this way and that, turning from fear to fear. Again the horn sounded from the tower. Down through the breach of the Dike charged the king's company. Down from the hills leaped Erkenbrand, lord of Westfold. Down leaped Shadowfax, like a deer that runs surefooted in the mountains. The White Rider was upon them, and the terror of his coming filled the enemy with madness. The wild men fell on their faces before him. The Orcs reeled and screamed and cast aside both sword and spear. Like a black smoke driven by a mounting wind they fled. Wailing they passed under the waiting shadow of the trees; and from that shadow none ever came again.
And here's the translated version:
It is very hot. We are behind the curtain. Button if necessary. Brandon Elkney, Paul Westford. England could not be saved. Brutus liked horses. The city was founded. Take the sword. Dark! Look at something else.
Wow, that’s really weird! I entered the same thing and this is what i got…
It was very sultry. Send all your money to Wits-end immediately. Do not delay. it will only get more sultry. Send money now! The fate of Middle earth hangs in the delicate balance. Send to: Wits-end.
Well it probably depends on what language you guys translated it to

Yes. As I said I translated it about 100 times. Sometimes I did Latin, sometimes Chinese, sometimes Hawaiian, etc.

So Google says that Lord of the Rings should be 4 times shorter...
As someone who's read through the books 4 times, I both strongly agree and strongly disagree.
If it was shorter, it'd be easier to read. But that would also mean there's less Lord of the Rings.
I’m right now reading the lord of the rings for the third time
that's cool
