From now on, I think I will take just a little more creative license and drop or rearrange some words in the mistranslations. Even though it won't be an accurate mistranslation (oxymoron?) it will still have the essence of the mistranslation. I think it will be necessary for comedic effect to do this because some of the lines just become a mouthful or are worded weirdly to the point that the words are in a strange order and just aren't funny. Come back next week for hopefully a more improved Universal Language of Mankind.
