The following genuine examples are
an amusing reminder of what can happen when you don't
use a professional translation company...
On menu of Swiss restaurant: "Our
wines leave you nothing to hope for."
On the door of a Moscow hotel room
- "If this is your first visit to the USSR, you
are welcome to it!"
Useful advice on how to drive Tokyo
style: "When passenger of foot heave in sight,
tootle the horn. Trumpet him melodiously at first,
but if he still obstacles your passage then tootle
him with vigour."
Bucharest hotel lobby: "The lift
is being fixed for the next day. During that time
we regret that you will be unbearable."
In Austrian ski resort: "Not
to perambulate the corridors in the hours of repose
in the boots of ascension."
Shop entrance in Majorca: "English
well talking. Here speeching American."
In a Paris hotel elevator: "Please
leave your values at the front desk."
In a Bangkok dry cleaner's: "Drop
your trousers here for best results."
On menu of Polish restaurant: "Salad
a firm's own make: limpid red beet soup with cheesy
dumplings in the form of a finger; roasted duck let
loose; beef rashers beaten up in the country people's
fashion." [Wonder if they ever caught the duck?!]
All goes to show - when it comes to
translation, you need the professionals!
