Do you have any funny mistranslations, slip-ups or other assorted stories involving a foreign language or country? Post 'em here!

Also, what is the funniest translation you can get with this?


Enjoy.

Previous thread of this type was locked because all it was was copy and paste.

It lasted awhile, then it got locked.

Sadly, this will be too.

The translation thing highlights the problems with automated translating.

That is also why I asked for user-written stories/tales involving the topic. Such as my own confusing of two words and asking a Waitress in Spain if the food had any Preservativo (condoms) in it.
