A new photocopier developed by Fuji Xerox can scan a sheet of paper printed with English text and spit out a copy in Japanese or Korean without compromising the layout. It can also work in reverse - translating Japanese or Korean to English at the flip of a switch.
At this point, the device has not gone into mass production, and it can only be seen in Japan. However, with any luck US, Korean, and Japanese businesses could be reading memos with mangled translations sometime in the near future.

What if you sent the message back and forth a few times to see how badly it’s mangled? Might be good for a few laughs.
