TRANSLATIONS GONE WRONG

It seems simple enough. You can enter the phrase into an online translator, use a dictionary, or what you learned in grade school. Companies and businesses translate greetings, directions, and warnings to deliver important messages to people of other languages and countries. The intention to connect and bridge communication gaps is present, however, it is blemished and marked with humor and lack of professionalism.

We can laugh or gasp at a sign that is poorly translation, be forgiving of their errors, but it's a shame that their good intention and the real meaning is lost in the translation.

Have a good laugh at these signs, but let's make sure we do it right!
