Babelfish didn't do too well here
I got this e-mail from a guest house we'd stayed at in Mittelwald Bavaria:

Grüß Gott aus dem verschneiten Mittenwald,

sehnen Sie sich nach der Stille des Winters, dem Blick auf schneebedeckte Berge und
wohltuender, prickelnder Waldluft?

Dann kommen Sie doch nach Mittenwald ins Gästehaus Sonnenbichl !

Mittenwald ist im Winter ein wahrer Traum aus weichem, glänzendem Schnee und strahlenden Sonnenschein. Direkt von unserem Haus erreichen Sie verschneite Berglandschaften mit romantischen Spazierwegen und rasanten Rodelbahnen. Lauflaufloipen durch den herrlichen Winterwald und Skipisten von leicht bis anspruchsvoll sind in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen.

Unser Gästehaus feiert 2008 sein 80-jähriges Bestehen.
Deshalb halten wir für unser Jubiläumsjahr besondere Pauschalangebote für Sie bereit:
Zum Beispiel : 7 Tage pro Person im Komfort-Doppelzimmer ab 224,- €
( in der Zeit vom 05. 01. – 30. 01. 08 und 23. 02. – 21. 06. 08 )
Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn Sie Ihren Urlaub bei uns verbringen. Schauen Sie sich gern auch unsere home-page www.Sonnenbichl-Tourismus.de an.
Doch Vorsicht, diese Seite könnte Fernweh auslösen!

Wir wünschen Ihnen einen guten Rutsch und alles Gute für das neue Jahr 2008!

Aus den schönen Bergen grüßt Sie freundlich

Familie Sepp Knilling

"...this side could release remote pain!"

I've used Babelfish on occasion when doing crossword puzzles but never for anything as long as your letter!

edited to add: I just clicked on the link. What a beautiful place!!!

7. Babelfish sucks balls
Google translator is much better (according to my chinese employee, whom I translate all written things for so she can understand, it's one of the only ones that do english to simplified chinese with any accuracy)

What google said they said -


Hello from the snowy Mittenwald,

They hanker after the stillness of winter, the views of snowcapped mountains and
Beneficial, tingling forest air?

Then come but after Mittenwald Sonnenbichl into a guest house!

Mittenwald in winter is a true dream of soft, shiny snow and bright sunshine. Direct from our house to get snowy mountain landscapes with romantic walks and rapid toboggans. Cross country skiing run by the beautiful winter woods and slopes from easy to challenging, in a few minutes.

Our guest house 2008 celebrates its 80-year anniversary.
Therefore, we consider our anniversary year special packages for you:
For example, 7 days per person in a double room from the comfort 224, - €
(In the period from 05 01 - 30. 01. 08 and 23 02 - 21 06 08)
We would be very happy if your holiday with us. Look like our home-page-www.Sonnenbichl Tourismus.de.
But beware, this page could trigger wanderlust!

We wish you a happy and good luck for the new year 2008!

From the beautiful mountains greets you warmly
