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…

Let's go 🐄, lactate on the cable clamp!

Part of an instruction manual. Amongst other advice, it reads: "When the cable is replaced, be sure to apply Lactate, or an equal compound, to the cable clamp thread. The lactate will prevent loosening of the screw..."

RE: mastodon.social/@yuukikonno/11

i should've said "i've decided."

i used the past tense bc in AE, "i've just" often becomes "i just," but in this case, the perfect tense still seems more natural.

@mort

Dial 9 for any inconvenience.

Wobei man nicht unbedingt jenen, die die Sprache nicht ausreichend beherrschen, den Vorwurf machen darf, dass sie stümpern, sondern jenen, die sie beauftragen und Importeuren, denen das gleich ist. Qualität kostet, auch in China und Englisch hat dort vermutlich sinkenden Stellenwert, Deutsch ganz sicher.

I will always be fascinated that the manufacturer (or the buyer? I don't know who adds the stickers) of a train costing a few millions can't afford a professional translator.

That's Polish EN63H-002.

The Polish version says not to *block* the door (with baggage).

#Engrish #English #rail

A message in three languages: Polish, English and German.

The English version says:

"""
ATTENTION: Do not lock the door so that it can be opened on the aide of train driver's cab.
"""

The German:

"""
ACHTUNG: Sperren Sie nicht die Tür, damit sie von der Seite der Lokführerkabine geöffnet werden können.
"""

Not if I gut you first!
#accidentalmetal #heute #englishfail #engrish #denglisch

Dear German influencers, don't pick English book titles of your grasp on the English language is not far reaching enough to know about the VERB "to gut" not just the NOMINAL "gut" (yes, the book is about eating healthier)

@roguefoam @amin

It's a fun place to shop. Just so much "cute" stuff. I don't mean cutesy, but literally, small, purposeful items like sponges, notepads, teacups, you name it. Some cutesy stuff too, I'm sure.

Of course, there's also a decent array of glorious #engrish merchandise. XD

I may have already posted a picture of this shop (but as I migrated my account, it doesn't matter). I was confused and intrigued by the choice of name. Some serious Engrish if you're asking me. And indeed. It's supposed to be a pun as in katakana it reads the same as "low cost." 🤷‍♂️

A clothing store in a Japanese shopping mall (it's an American style shopping mall, but in Japan). The store's name is Locust.

Damn, this is a treasure trove!

#Poland #Engrish

A part of a information board. It's got a few schematic images in black on cyan background, with text in Polish and English. The English text states the following three steps (sic):

1. STAND CLOSE.
2. SCAN the QR CODE.
3. WAIT FOR the WWW WEB.

Back in Japan

After a few weeks back home in France, I’m back home in Japan.

And if you need proof, here is a sign with a bad English translation:

I'm back in Japan. And in case you had any doubts, here is a bad English translation.
(I tried to fasten my neighbor's seatbelt, but he didn't approve despite me showing him the sign)

#Japan #Engrish

A Japanese sign in a bus. The English translation says: "Please fasten a seatbelt."
