FWIW, here's what Plain English has to say in their latest missive:
"...And ironically for us gobbledygook came second in the list. We were quite surprised to see this, as we have seen equivalents in at least four languages, including French (charabia), German (kauderwelsh), Dutch (onzin) and Italian (gergo incomprensible).
We'd love to hear any translations of the word into other languages."

n.b. The German is misspelled.
