I've done a search and while Babelfish has been mentioned, I have not seen any mention of this particular trick. I wanted to know the French term for "snowy" (as in the weather condition.)

When I enter "snowy," it translates it to "neigeux."

BUT, when I enter "Snowy" (with a capital "S") it translates it to... Milou!

Same thing with Google translate. When I translate English to French, it gives me neigeux. But French to English, it says Milou means Snowy. You have no idea how happy I was when I discovered this.. (:
