And in response, people shared their own favourite translation fails…
1. This sign in Turkey instructing you to time travel
2. Whatever you do, don’t be safe
3. Let’s Eat Tar!
Mmm, appetising.
4. This extremely continental breakfast
5. We’re sensing a trend here…
6. STUPID BEAN SPROUTS
7. This reassuring sign about being allowed to use your private parts however you like
Brilliant.
8. This chronically useless map
“You are here”
WHERE????
9. “…for assisting the difficult”
A struggle every retail worker can deal with.
10. Come again?
11. “Please do not touch my knob!”
12. MAXIMUM POTATOES
Rock on!
13. “Hi, I’d like to report some evil operation…”
