    Google Translate produced this (from para. 9 of http://habrahabr.ru/post/166377/ (don't ask!)) Tower of Mordor - it is certainly beautiful, but how to decipher? originally: Башня из Мордора — это, конечно, красиво, но как это расшифровать? It made me chuckle. Is "Tower of Mordor" a good translation? Is this a term [now] in common (geek) use - or are Google having a laugh?

      Without knowing what a native Russian would read it as, a quick google for "Башня из Мордора" came back with all links to Russian Lord of The Rings images, movies, and such - so I'm guessing that "Tower of Mordor" or similar is a literal and accurate translation: Google[^] [edit]Typos[/edit]

        You should retitle that "Totally lost in translation".
