Don't bother typing “lorem ipsum” into Google translate. If you already tried, you may have gotten [anything from "NATO" to "China"](https://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/08/lorem-ipsum-of-good-evil-google-china/ "Krebs on Security – Lorem Ipsum: Of Good & Evil, Google & China"), depending on how you capitalized the letters. The bizarre translation was fodder for conspiracy theories, but Google has since updated its “lorem ipsum” translation to, boringly enough, “lorem ipsum”.

One brave soul did take a stab at translating the almost-not-quite-Latin. According to [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2014/mar/21/lorem-ipsum-translated-latin-placeholder-text "The Guardian – Lorem ipsum translated: it remains Greek to me"), Jaspreet Singh Boparai undertook the challenge with the goal of making the text “precisely as incoherent in English as it is in Latin - and to make it incoherent in the same way”. As a result, “the Greek 'eu' in Latin became the French 'bien' \[...\] and the '-ing' ending in 'lorem ipsum' seemed best rendered by an '-iendum' in English.”

Lorem ipsum was popularized in the 1960s with Letraset's dry-transfer sheets, and later entered the digital world via Aldus PageMaker.

The decade that brought us *Star Trek* and *Doctor Who* also resurrected Cicero—or at least what used to be Cicero—in an attempt to make the days before computerized design a little less painstaking.

The French lettering company [Letraset](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letraset "Wikipedia – Letraset") manufactured a set of dry-transfer sheets which included the *lorem ipsum* filler text in a variety of fonts, sizes, and layouts. These sheets of lettering could be rubbed on anywhere and were quickly adopted by graphic artists, printers, architects, and advertisers for their professional look and ease of use.

Aldus Corporation, which later merged with Adobe Systems, ushered *lorem ipsum* into the information age with its desktop publishing software [Aldus PageMaker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_PageMaker "Aldus PageMaker Software on Wikipedia"). The program came bundled with *lorem ipsum* dummy text for laying out page content, and other word processors like Microsoft Word followed suit. More recently the growth of web design has helped proliferate lorem ipsum across the internet as a placeholder for future text—and in some cases [the final content](http://loremoopsum.tumblr.com/ "Lorem Oopsum: Instances of Dummy Text that went Live") (this is why we proofread, kids).
