Translation Please

[jelunga]

I have to share with you some instructions.

 

I bought some Chinese Dumpling Moulds made in China.

 

 

 

The instructions read :-

 

 

1) Places on the model the stuffed dumpling skin.

 

2) Places on the stuffed dumpling skin the stuffing

 

3) As soon as along the hypothesis model, is pressing the forming gently then.

 

 

Whilst the operation of these mould were shown in pictures, for the Sun readers, I am just interested in how they got to this translation.

 

 

 

Anybody seen a better one?

Places on the model the stuffed dumpling skin.

 

Now if I can just persuade a model to come round... Would a dumpling skin be strong enough?

I was once asked by my (coincidentally) Chinese Professor to assemble a new desk fan. The instructions read something to the effect of:

"take bar part 1"

"push carefully up bottom" - at this point I told him to do it himself !!!

By being a lot better at English than we are at Chinese, I'd guess.

A Honda user manual once urged me "to avoid endless puffing needlessly."

Im going to take a wild guess and say probably not......

Facebook has a new feature where, under a foreign status update it offers a 'see translation' button. Unadulterated nonsense, without exception

Doesn't have to be Chinese to be entertaining. I had something once that said on the label "Bend to expose slit"...

 

Then there was the one on the new Leighton Hospital Treatment Centre: "Sexual Diseases Clinic - use rear entrance". Sadly now removed.

Rolls Royce once had a problem with a manual they had translated from English to another language . The translation said when converted correctly back to English. "The turbine blades are fitted to the rotor with a wooden joint." remember this is in an aero jut engine. It should have said that the blades are held in with a fir tree root joint.

In amongst the horrible and depressing things that I see in my job I often work with unacompanied minors from far off lands, whilst their plight is serious, the translation is hilarious. Only today did I ask an albanian lad if his tea was to tight! (Don't rely on google translate!)

 

P.s. I was trying to ask him if he knew everyone in the room!

I was in a beachfront restarant in Thailand once and the English translation of the menu listed "Trons parents noodle soup".

 

I was wondering who Tron was, but then reaslised it meant transparent noodle soup.

Living in Thailand I had a brand new toilet. A label on the inside of the lid had English translated cleaning instructions, including the wonderful "Pee off this label".

In one restaurant we visited in France a few years ago, the "English" menu offered such delights as "Paving Slab of Tuna". The beef was described as being "raised and cut down in the manner 'Frenchwoman'".

 

"Google Language Tools" has a lot to answer for.

On a menu inFulham I saw "asserole of chicken" (which we didn't order) and in a Thai restaurant, "Chef's special prik" - which turned out to be prawns!
