I tried this with multiple "Lorem Ipsum" texts I found around the web and realized that many of them are actually drastically different from one another after the first few words. I think Google Translate is seriously confused by the extremely high number of variations and surrounding contexts that it has indexed these words in.

Re: The meaning of Lorem Ipsum
Wikipedia says
The lorem ipsum text is typically a mangled section of De finibus bonorum et malorum, a 1st century Latin text by Cicero, with words altered, added, and removed that make it nonsensical and not proper Latin.[1] ->http://www.straightdope.com/columns/rea ... ipsum-mean
