Presuming that to be a language, which setting for Google Translate,
Babel Fish, or other do you recommend? I've checked ROT-13. Or is the
idea that you have something to say but don't want to leek it into the
Great World Outside? g

An online literal Welsh-English website comes up with
"Nor recite I go you heard he foreknows you go be lyingly"
I prefer the original BabelFish version (which translates everything
into Japanese first before translating that into the required language)
"My hovercraft is full of eels"

ROFL!!! That's exactly the kind of thing the phrase refers to!!!

I prefer the original BabelFish version (which translates everything
into Japanese first before translating that into the required language)
"My hovercraft is full of eels"

In Welsh, BabelFish would be "Pysgod Terfysg" but if offered that phrase
in Welsh, I'd assume the speaker was trying to say "fighting fish", and
just got a bit confused with the right word for fighting, since there
are (for no reason I'm going to comment on) a range of suitable words to
choose from to cover that concept.

It is.

Good grief. None of them.

I've checked ROT-13.

Interesting strategy. ;-)

Or is the idea that you have something to say but don't want to leek

The lingo I used is the modern expression of the ancient (i.e. before
the Romans) language of these islands, otherwise known as Welsh. The
message encrypted in those unfamiliar words is in response to the
suggestion that residents of the UK speak but English, and translates
roughly as "be careful repeating what you have been told, in case it is
wrong".

The indication that I had realised that it was Welsh was evidently too
subtle for you.
