Here's a list of all the blurry text from the translator, both with the original image and enhanced contrast.
A note about grammar:
- The punctuation appears to be borrowed from the translator's native language.
- The ring diacritic indicates a question mark.
- A single line above a letter is a full stop.
- A double line above a letter is an exclamation mark (or probably a comma).
This might help in determining the native language a bit better.
