Reddit user k-popstar moved to Japan to teach English but when he went to the local discount clothing stores he saw that there was more work to do here than he had thought at the beginning.

Just like their competitors in the West, Japanese clothing companies put English words on their shirts and sweaters. But the result is a bit different. Some translations look cute, others are simply unexplainable.

Which one do you like the most? Maybe you have also experienced getting lost in translation at your local store? Add your photos to this list and vote for your favorites!
