Someone over at reddit has figured out that if you type ‘dog’ enough times in Google Translate using the language Yoruba, it gives you a secret doomsday message about Christ’s return:
NY POST – Fears of an imminent apocalypse have been sparked by a mysterious warning from Google Translate.
The language-translation app is telling users that we’re “approaching the end times” — and no one’s quite sure why.
Typing the word “dog” into Google Translate and translating from Yoruba (a West African language) to English spits out the exact same word, “dog.”
But type “dog” 22 times in a row and a sinister message appears instead.
“Doomsday Clock is three minutes at twelve,” it begins.
“We are experiencing characters and dramatic developments in the world, which indicate that we are increasingly approaching the end times and Jesus’ return.”
The bizarre message was first discovered by users on Reddit, several of whom described it as “creepy.”
I tried this myself and verified it:
I’m not sure how someone at reddit figured this out as it seems completely random to just happen upon. But it’s for real and Google apparently hasn’t fixed it yet.
And while I am a believer that we are in the very last days, down to possibly the last decade given the events we’ve discussed in the past, it is quite weird to see a message like this on Google Translate.
I wonder what other secret messages might be hidden in their translation software?
