Bad Translations

i love that stuff. i was in japan last year and got a razor from a hotel. the package said, “Have a great shaving for your fresh life!”

on a bottle of milk tea (like ice tea with milk), something like, “like a rose, our tea brings color and beauty to your life”

The christmas lights one is totally true. All the christmas light packages I have ever bought say for indoor or outdoor use only.

do a search for “engrish” and you’ll find a ton of this stuff.

Haha… I’ve read things like that before - and they ALWAYS make me laugh. There was something similar… it was a bunch of funny warning lables, I’ll see if I can find it.

Peace

omg! you have a chinese friend? COOL
the translations are often wrong!
I’ve noticed lately that when I watch TV (a film or sth) I always do both: listen to the english voices/sounds, stuff and read the subtitles. I’ve noticed that EVERY number that has been translated is wrong! ALWAYS!
I just whatch the movie and when sumebody says a number then suddenly I’m thinking
“wtf, the number is wrong! Stupid… who the heck translated it? did he get paid? I wanna translate those movies too If I get paid for it! At least I’ll do it right!”
:slight_smile:

i get great real life examples all the time. let’s see…

one time she sent me email about a problem with her computer. it seems something was wrong with her “eye-cons” :slight_smile:

i was getting discouraged about something i was trying to do. she said, “Hang up!”
i gave her a strange look, and she thought for a second and said, “wait…Hang in there!”

on an opportunity we missed out on…“gone with the window”

i can laugh at her because she laughs much harder at the stuff i come up with when i speak japanese.

I once dated a Thai girl, who while working in Yosemite National Park, “maneured rocks” while doing upkeep on trails :stuck_out_tongue:

My current girlfriend is Jamaican… I have to really concentrate when she asks a question, because it is usually out of order, and sometimes out of contex… :stuck_out_tongue:

She is so cute… :stuck_out_tongue:
