Oversettelser utført av karbonbasert prosessor


Explanation:
The text can be closely rendered in Norwegian without losing any meaning.

You may, of course, want a totally different punch line in Norwegian. But I don't think it's neccessary.

If you want to, you can try:

"Oversettelser utført av biologisk nedbrytbar prosessor"
