When there’s language there’s always a chance of getting lost in translation. And while in some instances this can be truly annoying and make your trip to the Far East somewhat of a bummer, in other cases, it gives us all a perfect source of entertainment.

Like these hilariously mistranslated signs that seem to have no shame or no awareness of whatever is wrong about them. So let’s fasten your seatbelt, we are about to get bamboozled. Psst! More poorly translated signs await in our previous post right here.

The accurate translation is "The grass is resting, do not disturb."The word "xiao" is often translated as "small", "tiny" ect., but is really just the Chinese "-quito" and can be used for many objects to cutify them.

    In today's multicultural world, it's hard to imagine a world without translation services. From online translations to in-person interpreters, it's easier than ever to communicate with people who speak different languages. Unfortunately, not all translations are created equal.

    Recently, there has been a surge in the number of poorly translated signs, billboards, and other written materials. From funny typos to incomprehensible messages, these translations make it almost impossible to understand their intended message.

    aquaphobia, or the fear of water, you live with a persistent and abnormal amount of fear and anxiety that prevents you from even getting close to water. Aquaphobia is a specific phobia. This is an irrational fear of something that doesn’t cause much danger.

    There may be multiple reasons to blame for why a particular sign makes little sense. First, it may have to do with the fact that the translation was copy-pasted from Google Translate (or another AI) which is not the best option for high-visibility signage.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Another typical problem comes up when the hired translator isn’t given any context about the sign or what’s on it. While the verb above, “gritar,” can be translated as “cry” or “shout,” it’s clear from the visual clues that it’s referring to shouting.

    What’s more, professional linguists often employ their cultural know-how to ensure a top translation. In general, unprofessional language agencies assign translators work without considering their cultural backgrounds or dialect specializations.

    This may have been the problem behind American Airlines’ slogan “Fly in leather,” which was translated as “Vuela en cuero” in Spanish. For some Latin American countries, this was no problem, but in some regions like Mexico the slogan meant “fly naked.”

    There was a sign like this in Wales where by law the signs have to be in English and Welsh.

    Meanwhile, one important factor is that not all translators specialize in the same content areas, which is why it’s vital for businesses to choose translators with specialization in their area.

    Culinary translation, for example, is much more difficult than it may appear, so no wonder that menu translation is a specialized field. For example, “Spotted Dick” is a famous English pudding, but you can imagine the trouble translators could get themselves into if they translated it literally.

    One example of a badly translated sign was seen in a popular tourist destination in Asia. Instead of saying "Do Not Enter," the sign actually said "Do Not Exit." This kind of mistake could have potentially been dangerous for visitors who were not familiar with the language.

    It's important for businesses to take the time to properly translate their signs and other materials. Poorly translated signs can lead to confusion and even danger for visitors who are not familiar with the language. It's also important to use the services of professional translators who not only have the necessary skills to do so, but are also informed with the relevant context and have a cultural understanding that’s relevant to a particular translation.

    Not so far from being correct though. The fire grenade was the predecessor to the fire extinguisher, they were made of glass and initially contained water and then they were filled with a chemical mixture that would put fires out, you threw the glass ball at the fire, the glass smashed and hopefully you put the fire out. So now you know!

I sing up for a bombing (me apunto a un bombardeo) Means I'm down for anything you wanna do I have got the ruler (Tengo la regla) this isn't really an idiom, it just means "I'm in my period" What a big brown (Qué marronazo) Means "What a big problem" If life gives you lemon, ask for tequila and salt (Si la vida te da limones, pide sal y tequila) Means the same as the "make lemonade" one just a bit spicier I guess What a big pussy (Qué coñazo) Means annoying as f**k, might be a person, an event... I want the fat one to touch me (Quiero qué me toque el Gordo) Again, not an idiom, El Gordo is the lottery, we are just praying we win it (1/many)

    In prison I had a roommate with a seizure disorder. She also had emotional problems to cause her to fake seizures to get attention. She had a real seizure in our room one night, and hit her head hard against the metal bedframe. A few weeks later, she faked a seizure while in our room, and before she sank to the floor, she carefully checked to be sure she wouldn't hit her head again.

    We have an idiom in my language, in english ”To pace around hot porridge like a cat” meaning someone is restless. Might this have anything to do with it?

    We have that in my language too (Danish) but it doesn't mean restless. More like pussyfooting around a touchy subject or not mentioning the elephant in the room.

    Just in case anybody was interested in the "Chicken Eating/Chicken Hand" game origin... The game PlayerUnknown BattleGround (PUBG) was wildly successful in Korea and the person who won it got the message "Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!" with many people not understanding the why or what it meant. In time it became known as the "Chicken Eating game" then the terminology was broadened to all of the similar games (Fortnight etc.) It could be argued that this is not so much Engrish but just something that doesn't make sense - To borrow from Billy Connolly the saying "I'll take my hand off your face!" doesn't really make sense but is usually understood to be a threat.

    The Chinese translation is right, so I think what happened is the translator didn’t know how to change the sentence to English using 不 so he skipped it. There are no specific words for yes or no in Chinese you add on不 to say no, and then you repeat the sentence without the question word to say yes.

    My mother once had a tape player that said it was 'Small but terrible'. I have sympathy since the true meanings of 'terrible' and 'terrific' are very similar - ie capable of inspiring terror. But usage is very different! I believe that English is a bugger of a language to learn.
