Thanks…
As my German is weak, I turned to Babel Fish, which,
as usual, gives a translation that is as entertaining
as it is informative:
“The ninth data garden takes place on 11-July 2002 at
20 o’clock into the citizen of Berlin club areas in
the Marienstrasse 11 in Berlin center, rear spar from.
The topic will be Ruby, a small, fine object-oriented
programming language from the country of the smile.
That one marks also to our adviser Jens Ohlig, which
radiates all the time before loud joy over Ruby. It
is so inspired by this language that it would like to
near-bring it to other interested one. If one hears it
talk, one wants to only program immediately in Ruby.
Jens will present first times the principles of Ruby,
and will develop in addition concepts and will present
ideas. Then the learning is to be converted equal into
practice. Target group: Interested and/or Nerds, which
does not know Ruby yet, but perhaps already another
programming language know. Or, engaged humans also only
generally high-motivated. Bring along: Since that is a
going through data garden, would be it prima, if its
computer of any sort, to platzsparensten naturally
laptops, bring along could. An before-installed Ruby
would be also fame. We have here also public terminals,
but their number is limited (which should not prevent
you nevertheless from it, to by-watch).”
Now… please pardon it while it goes and radiates
before loud joy over Ruby.

Subject: Legendary Chaos Computer Club goes Ruby
Quick and dirty Martinfish (tearing out the important part):
The ninth ‘data garden’ will be taking place on the 11th of
July …
The topic will be Ruby, a small but nice object oriented
programming language from the land of the smile. That’s
something which you can see on our contributor Jens Ohlig,
too, as he’s smiling of joy all the time because of Ruby.
He’s that enthusiastic about Ruby so that he wants to share
this experience with others; when you hear him talking about
it, you begin to want to program in nothing else but Ruby.
Jens will be giving an introduction to Ruby basics, and
develope concepts and ideas fitting to it. Furthermore, the
learnt shall be brought to action at once.
Hope thsi makes more sense
-Martin

That is easily the most memorable phrase, but a close runner up is:
"If one hears it talk, one wants to only program immediately in Ruby."

Somehow this could enter Ruby folklore. It could be used in any “please
wait” message, for example as a compiler message before a lengthy
compilation of Ruby source
There is an old story that goes:
Some US intelligence unit had been working on automated translation between
english and russian.
During is presention, it was requested that it translated “Out of sight out
of mind” to russian. It was then translated back and came out as “Invisible
maniac”.
I don’t know if it is true or not, but it says a lot about AI. Babelfish is
truly amazing despite its faults.
Babelfish can’t translate from english to russian, but the japanese dual
translation of “Out of sight out of mind” returns “From vision from heart”.
Over german it goes "From sight from understanding out "
The chinese version is the most precise “Outside sight outside brains”
The Gollum version in portugese: “It are of the sight it are of the mind”
But I like the korean version the best:
Oblivion at outside of mind

My favourite in this line is the translation of “the spirit is willing
but the flesh is weak”, which supposedly wound up as “the wine is good
but the meat is awful” :-).
