It's now spread from GWT to Analytics and into SEARCH RESULTS!

I noticed gibberish like "یاÙ" appearing in my reports so I ran it through Google translate and it auto-detects french(I know french, that's not french). I then tried running some of the weird stuff as a search query and some reputable sites display gibberish in the sers. I spotted a NY Times article and several youtube videos in the sers that, when visited, had no trace of the junk.

Could it have something to do with the new "translated foreign content" option in the sidebar? It looks like Google has translated all webpages into other languages for that option which is something that could easily cause problems like this. (if the translated content link isn't new I apologize, I never saw it until today)
