Don't bother. Translation isn't that amusing a job. Most of the time it's pretty dull.

That said, I've seen a couple of gems in my time. One of my favourites was a Chinese to English to Swedish translation.

The Swedish expanded upon this and said (translated into English for the benefit of anyone who doesn't speak Swedish!) "when the device is functioning, a sodding light will come on".
