We just found an unopened foot massager we bought off Amazon years ago. Way before we decided to avoid BozoCorp wherever possible. The manual is something else!

4.1: I have bought one for my father, and he likes to use it. For the woman, like white collar workers, is it good?

Of course. For the woman, reflexology has the effect of weight loss and beauty. For dysmenorrheal, a regular menstruation, menopausal…

Nuh-uh, it is so translated that way! How dare ya' insult my French! Er... Google Translate's French, more accurately.

In a comic panel Harley Quinn wears a black beret and a white and pink checked vest over a white button-down shirt with flared and ruffled sleeves. Her Hyenas, Bud and Lou, have their long mohawks of pink and blue fur tied up with bows. She speaks in horribly translated French, "Es-tu un bon garçon? Oui, tu es! Où se trouvent les toilettes? Une hyène a mon pantalon!" Badly translated French captions read, "Français facile avec Harley." A footnote reads, "Précision non garantie." A caption reads "A Kilowog-core Edit".

Tell me without telling me you've used machine translation for your German website. 🫠

- A mix of formal and informal address.
- Literally translated copy.
- Awkward sentence using "guarantee"... twice.

Awkward German translation of marketing copy.

"Genießen Sie einen Einkaufsbummel im [xxx] mit seinen zahlreichen Geschäften, Restaurants und Cafés, einem Kino und Unterhaltungsmöglichkeiten – wir garantieren Ihnen, dass Ihnen garantiert nicht langweilig wird! Finde mehr heraus."

Me: Student, what does "vacant" mean?
Student: Uh... Sky?

This happened yesterday. I did laugh. I usually try not to laugh at my students, but it just came out, I couldn't control it.

#EnglishInJapan #Education #EnglishTeaching #BadTranslation

I love the bad automatic translators my students use when they write their emails to me. I still haven't figured out which one it is, probably a Japanese one. Does LINE have an automatic translator?

In any case, this one is a first:

" I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused by our convenience."

I am sad that the maker of these chips finally realized the giant french error on their bags after several years. (For non french speaking people, the french word for potato chips is “croustilles” but the french word for a microchip is “puce” which means “flea”. This means that in french, these were labelled as honey buttered fleas.) #french #translation #badtranslation

A pack of Hiney butter flavored potato chips. The french translation reads “Puces à beurre de miel”

A bag of the same potato chip flavour, but now the french part reads “Croustilles au beurre de miel”

Mountain With a Big Room.
This is the Mount Omuro (Omuroyama, or 大室山), which can literally be translated to "big room mountain" (but shouldn’t… Because it actually just means "a big-ass mountain", according to a random person on the internet: https://baba72885.exblog.jp/12610236/).
Anyway, this mountain is shaped like a cone and has quite some room inside so big room it is.

TIL: (thanks #TheGuardian I guess): #German "Aufguss" is already a #Loanword in #English, and it is actually a form of experimental theater:

"This is “Aufguss”, a German term for “infusion” that has been translated for American audiences as “wellness theater”. The art form, long popular in Europe, is getting its North American debut in an unexpected place: Sin City"

Ok, for reasons of fairness, I also tag this as #BadTranslation

In the middle of a deep dive here, but ran across this and had to share. Beware of shoddy machine translations. Liaozhai is wild, but not wild like this:

The new daughter-in-law suspected that Nie's wife did not die, blaming her husband for deceiving herself and trying to hang herself. Nie told her the reason, the new wife is a ghost. The nigga came, and the new wife was scared to escape; the shots no longer had a bed with Nie, only using his nails to lick his flesh, and then he screamed at him with a candle, and said nothing. Nie is not good. Some people in the neighboring village will drive ghosts, and the mahogany scorpion wedges on the corners of her grave.
