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.)
