Russian Brides - translation puzzle !
-
I somehow stumbled upon http://russiancupid.com in Google search results. The site suggests that you register, but meantime Google eg [tatiana site:russiancupid.com] lets you navigate - Google Images also helps guide you. Probably safer not to register ...
Where it gets really fun is the text fields 'profiletextexpand' (top) and 'Seeking' (end). There are fields/tabs for 'English' and 'Original Russian'.
A [?] on the 'English' tab says:
title="Profile translations are automatically generated using a computer program. If this translation does not make sense it's possible that the computer program has mis-translated this text."The 'Original Russian' tab currently has a better-english version of the text, but was blank when I first found it a month ago. It can be the key to decoding the text.
Compare:

The 'computer translation' seems to have problems - try these Google searches;
[paedophilia site:russiancupid.com]
OK - 'loves children' could get mis-translated, but it seems to be a straight find-and-replace for 'loving'["bottomhole" site:russiancupid.com]
='well'
I am a bottomhole held woman
I am a well held woman["Great musician Alan Wilder" site:russiancupid.com]
Seems to be a find-and-replace for 'will'

["Stockmann Loyal Customers" site:russiancupid.com]I suspect they didn't pay a developer who may have sabotaged the site in revenge !

Ie change " and " to "these forums need more clues"
change " the " to " desktop search is great "
Another gem:
I want my husbаnd in every sense of the word - able to not only take care of his woman, but also to give Miami a lot of sex.
'Miami' = 'me' !

"I hope to meet an intelligent, very romantic, paedophilia, sensuаl, for Stockmann Loyal Customers finished on man who is ready for a marriage based on respect and trust, who аppreсiаtes and between paupers, sensitive heart and needs love and support from a саring, sinсere woman."
Between paupers, you say? That sounds surprisingly honest. She's looking for a man who's ready for his next store-bought woman.
