The BBC reports on this hilarious road sign. As you can see the English is clear enough but the Welsh at the bottom reads “I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated.”
When officials asked for the Welsh translation of a road sign, they thought the out of office reply was what they needed.
So that is what they printed on the sign. Apparently it happens so often that a local newspaper has a special section showing all the Welsh/English translation screw ups.
This one is just amazing…















There are a few more examples of this kind of thing at http://russian-com.co.uk/fun/badtrans.html

Even more fun is restaurant “Translate server error” in China: http://www.unplggd.com/uimages/unplggd/2008_08_28%20translateservererror.jpg
Gotta love these errors, where would the world be without them!
