The job of translating signs is something which needs to be done by a skilled professional and taken seriously. Thankfully, there are still some people who are bad enough at it to give us all a good laugh at their seriously bad translations.

The Fall Down Sign Translation

Bad Translations

I don’t know about you but I always try to slip and fall down as carefully as I can. Having said that, what I really hate is when I am trying to slip and fall carefully and I lose my balance and slip and fall in a careless kind of a way. That sucks and takes a lot of enjoyment out of the art of slipping and falling down. Thanks for the reminder about how bad this can be.

The Bottom Pizza Translation

Bad Translations

Blooming hell. I never knew that Spanish speakers used furnace cooked pizzas as instruments of torture. Can you imagine getting a 12 inch Jamon and Jalapeño special rammed up your rear end by your so called amigo? Of course, the reason for this bad translation is that “fondo” in Spanish means at the back of the room as well as your rear end. At least, I hope that is the reason.

The Touching Translation 

Funny Translations

That’s what I love about Chinese customer service; they have no qualms about going the extra mile to keep you happy. Personally, I find this kind of approach refreshing and frankly admirable.

The Weed Bread Translation

Bad Translations

Whenever I settle down with some fried cheese, lettuce and cucumber I think to myself, “Where is my freaking weed bread, dude?” You see, without your weed bread a sandwich is just a collection of random ingredients which fall on the floor and don’t get you high at all. As bad translations go this is pretty good, though.

The Server Error Translation

Bad Translations

What does this weird translation even mean? You aren’t seriously telling me that this message popped up on the translator’s computer screen and he thought it was the genuine English phrase for whatever he was trying to translate?

The Hand Grenade Translation

Bad Translations

The dangers of not being proficient in the language are all too clear here. Can you imagine fire breaking out in the bulding and someone asking for the hand grenade? For the avoidance of doubt, hand grenades are great for situations of war where the throwing of an explosive device could wreak havoc on your enemies but not so useful in putting out fires.

The Unnecessary Diet Translation

Funny Translations

Is this sign for a weight loss product telling me that my diet is unnecessary? That is sure nice of them but my butt is a bit too big for my liking. No, really. I really want to go on a diet. Ah fine, you’ve convinced me that your weight loss product isn’t really necessary. What a weird marketing campaign.

The Strange Warning Translation

Bad Translations

I have genuinely no idea what this sign with a bad translation is trying to warn us against. If I ever saw this bizarre sign in real life I would probably spend so long looking at it and trying to work it out that my hand would get mangled by a hanging knob on a passing shutter box or whatever it is that they are telling me to be wary of.
