Poorly translated signs can lead to confusion and misunderstandings, but they can also lead to laughter. These people who’ve encountered such translation fails were able to maintain their composure and snap a pic of the sign, and I’m glad they did.
One time, I was at a Chinese restaurant when I saw a sign that was meant to say “Please wait outside,” but it was translated as “Please wait in the outhouse.” However, this pales in comparison to the poorly translated signs that people are sharing online.
Here are some of the funniest translation fails that have made us laugh.
