When you finally get your hands on your daughter, would you ask her to check out Google’s “Word Monkey”. It’s a translator and free but it completely murdered Polish for me. Of course, Polish is impossible but I would love to know how well it does French. This was a funny post. Keep it up.

ahahahahahahaha so true!!! The same happens in touristic spots in Italy.

Also in Italy, all public spaces have to display Fire Emergency Procedures everywhere. I’ve found some very amusing English translations in a hotel, where for exemplo, instead of EMERGENCY EXIT they wrote EMERGENCY END. I should have asked to photocopied that thing…

hahahaha I’m going to be stalking your blog for a month until I come there check out these menus for myself! Her ein Kuwait, the errors in menu are so frequently overdone that I’ve let ‘em slip by, but too often they are funny enough to make you choke on your food.

I love those quirky menu translations. Who could resist a raped carrot? Then there’s the “fried inkwells” we saw in Crete; and in the same place a “Franco-Anglais” restaurant, amongst whose menu items there were “Testicules de porc”, or in English “Pigs’ balls.” Yummy.
