Recently, while taking classes here in France to get my massage certificate, I was given a list of French to English translations to use with my clients. Apparently, a "mechanical" translator was used, because the first thing I'm supposed to say when meeting a client is ""Hello, mister, how can I feel you?" I hope to make a fortune!Delana@dujourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319475424591739125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10215844.post-81118010220222831682007-07-11T06:01:00.000+02:002007-07-11T06:01:00.000+02:00Absolutely hilarious!!

I work as a Spanish Interpreter/Translator, and it always amazes (and highly amuses) me when staff at the hospital will hand me a document that they have "translated" and ask me if it is alright. It's nice to know that I won't be replaced by a machine in the near future!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10215844.post-1139401191379422342007-07-09T00:39:00.000+02:002007-07-09T00:39:00.000+02:00My husband does translating and we use to roll on ...My husband does translating and we use to roll on the floor laughing because some of the dishes when translated literally actually came out just like this. I would have to research the recipe in english in order to see what it was and how it was actually made. It was more trouble than it was worth. <BR/>He finally told them not to send him any more menus to translate.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04659262280013900666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10215844.post-81378974593519189772007-07-07T22:39:00.000+02:002007-07-07T22:39:00.000+02:00Mmm...door mat of sauerkraut.

She searched her french for the words and placing her hands on her belly announced to all (in french) that she was full.<BR/>Raised eyebrows all round and a couple of knowing looks in my direction.<BR/>Took me ages to figure it out.meredichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351910443485308196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10215844.post-79822204151802852942007-07-06T19:06:00.000+02:002007-07-06T19:06:00.000+02:00mmm miam miam!It's amazing that people still expec...mmm miam miam!<BR/><BR/>It's amazing that people still expect to get away with using the online translators these days! In my university class students who couldn't be bothered would hand in essays which made NO sense whatsoever - kind of like this menu!
