Sounds like a funny request I know.

But I thought this would be an easy way
to generate Loren Ipsum text for other language websites.

Lets say it is for a Chinese website.

Wouldn't it be nice to spit out Loren Ipsum / translate to Chinese
(via English if need be)?

You do know that the "Lorem Ispsum" thing isn't actually Latin. The words are, but the whole text is just scrambled words.

http://www.lipsum.com/ and there are some "translations" on there as well.
Not sure if or how it could be "translated" into the glyphs/ideographs/ideogram/pictographs of the Chinese written language.

Thanks. That site is good but unfortunately there are no chinese, Japanese or Korean translations.

Actually, it has this to say about Loren Ipsum

Quote:
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

Maybe you could do the same?

scrounge a few menus from local restaurants or "borrow" the text from recipe sites.
