I want to know the sentence "the cake is a lie" (you know, from Portal) in as many languages as possible - I'm gonna make a list of the translations. If you're wondering, here's the IRC conversation that led to this:

[16.01.08][21:20:04] <bto> haz's cake is a lie ;o
[16.01.08][21:20:15] <Haz>
[16.01.08][21:20:16] <Haz> yes.
[16.01.08][21:20:30] <Haz> la tarta es una mentira!
[16.01.08][21:20:50] <Haz> (Peri said that once actually )
[16.01.08][21:21:29] <bto>
[16.01.08][21:21:41] <bto> in mexico, we would say
[16.01.08][21:21:54] <bto> "el pastel es una mentira"
[16.01.08][21:22:01] <Haz> aha
[16.01.08][21:23:18] <bto>
[16.01.08][21:23:43] <Haz> i think i might start a collection of that sentence in different languages, like svip did with his babies sentence
[16.01.08][21:23:48] <Haz> it would be interesting

Also, if you say things differently in different countries/areas even though the language is the same (like with Spanish), I'd be more than happy to know how it's said specifically in your country.

Edit: and please also say what language you translated it to, and country, if it's relevant.

Thanks all. <3

LOLCat: TEH CAEK IZ LIE

Standard Arabic:

Unicode characters don't work in postbits, so I had to print them on images.

"The cake is a lie." English

«  Le gâteau est un mensonge. »  French

„ Die Torte ist eine Lüge.“  *German


*I think that's what it would be I don't know very much German but I will be having German class sometime soon but until then I only think thats correct.

I don't understand "The cake is a lie" though is that supposed to mean something or is it just nothing.

That one's better than peri's.

Portuguese: O bolo é uma mentira

BTW, it's not a lie. I finished the game and I can tell it's not a lie. Moreover, it's delicious. Chocolate.

THE CAKE IS A LIE AND JOO KNOES IT!
