China is fascinating, and visiting it is bound to leave you with some fantastic impressions. Sometimes, however, the English-speaking guests might have some difficulties finding their way around the country. Due to poor English knowledge, complex Chinese dictionary, and clumsy Chinese to English translations, signs that are supposed to help you out, only end up causing outbursts of unstoppable laughter!
Inspired by Buzzfeed’s “22 Chinese Signs That Got Seriously Lost In Translation”, we decided to make our own list of hilariously funny translation fails in China. And yes, there are definitely enough of them for many more such compilations, to the joy of grammar nazis! Check these out, so that if you ever do go to China, you wouldn’t be too surprised with bad translator creations about fresh crap in fish tanks and wild germs that hate soup. Oh, and never order the greenstuff!
Never!
F*** Vegetables
“干菜” means dried vegetables and “类” means type. So as a whole, it should be the dried vegetables section. The translator was way too concerned about the Chinese character “干” which is also a slang for f***.” (Image credits: chinalert.com)
