I guess I might as well try this out also... I gave it the Minza
translation of the Kokiri Forest walkthrough and it came up with
Indonesian. The Lindiga version of the same text, on the other hand,
apparently looked like "Slovakian". (I guess it must have been getting a
clue from all those r-wedges, which in a text from a "real" language
would probably only be seen in Czech or Slovak. I can't guess how it
came up with Indonesian for Minza, though.)
