Weird English Translations By Chinese...

Strange: This parking sign could lead to embarrassing misunderstandings between drivers with its bizarre message

Keep out: A mix-up at the sign-writer's makes this tourist attraction seem less than welcoming

Warning: English speaking visitors are warned not to tread on 'smiling' lawn

Special offer: This Chinese supermarket is left tongue-tied over its offer of disposable goods

Catch of the day: A misplaced letter at a fishmonger's makes the carp look less appetising

Mixed messages: This spa is offering horny care alongside its more traditional treatments


Recipe for disaster: This menu translator will be left red-faced over this crude interpretation of a duck dish


Odd: Wine drinkers appear to be warned off throwing their glasses in this sign

Customer service: This sign in a changing room left a holiday-maker baffled as to what the store was offering

Cakes: This garbled sign in a restaurant window in Shanghai is just about legible for foreign visitors


Money laundering: This cash point offers to recycle money for green-minded travellers

Comical: This road warning sign is a comedy of errors following a mistake in translation


Offer: A sign in Chinese and English indicates a room or hotel for foreigners in Shenyang
