Has anyone else seen this with google translate?

I hit some kind of language detection glitch and instead of the usual detection to the Thai language, it detected another language (Afar). It started outputting completely unrelated profane and disturbing phrases that weren’t in the original text at all.

What was weird is it didn’t feel like a typical mistranslation .. the output looked almost corrupted or broken in some way and the repeated word patterns are a little concerning. Did someone programme it as a joke or is this just a coincidence?? I tested a few languages and the same words came up.

I already submitted feedback to Google!
