Never seriously use them! No matter how tempting it may be, they'll just spit comedy in your face. I found a thread today named "Geležinis Vilkas / Iron Wolf [LTU]"*. A Lithuanian-only guild recruiting for the upcoming ArcheAge. Being a Lithuanian my self, I decided to take a look at how my countrymen are doing (no not planning to defect or anything). In the thread their first paragraph was this: Naturally, I poked at the name of their guild with a short response and, in a moment of curiosity, decided to run some translators on my response. These are the results: My post in Lithuanian: Žiuriu praktiškai visada lietuviai susikuria kažką apie geležį ir vilką. Argi neturim daugiau legendų? Actual meaning: It seems that that practically every time Lithuanians create something regarding iron and wolf. Don't we have any more legends? Microsoft translator: In practice, the context is always the Lithuanians keep something about iron and Wolf. Was it neturim more legends? Microsoft reverse-translation: Praktikoje, atsižvelgiant visada yra lietuviai nuolat kažką apie geležies ir vilkas. Ji buvo neturim daugiau legendos? : D Actual meaning: Inside practice, looking back at always is Lithuanians repeatedly something about of iron and a wolf. She was we don't have more legends? Google translator: The jury almost always creates something of Lithuanians and the iron wolf. Is not got more legends? D Google reverse-translation: Žiuri beveik visada sukuria ką nors lietuvių ir geležinis vilkas. Ar negavote daugiau legendas? D Actual meaning: (Implied: you/they) see almost always creates something Lithuaians and an iron wolf. Did not get more about legends? D (yes google translate butchers emotes) * For those that don't know about Lithuanian legends (AKA just about everyone in these forums), the legend says that after hunting down and eating a massive auroch, our ruler fell asleep and had a dream of a wolf made of iron howling with the sound of a hundred wolves. Once he woke up, he went to consult a shaman (us still being pagan at that time in history) and the shaman said that the dream meant that he (the ruler) should build a mighty castle where he slept and make it our capital. And that no matter what, that castle would never fall before any siege. The castle from the legend still exists and has been renovated, becoming a major tourist attraction. Our capital, however, was been moved to the city Vilnius. It's probably the most popular legend in Lithuania and because of it, names such as The Iron Wolves (in Planetside 2) are extremely overused.
