Chinese signs go wrong

LOL


Apparently the restaurant wanted to translate their name - they go into babel fish - an online foreign word translating program - and got

"Translate server error".

Not thinking twice- they put it up as their main sign.

It happens quite a bit:

I would suspect that if we started translating our English terms to Chinese words - in the same haphazard way - we'd also get similar errors, ie. Amnesty International - "Organization for the Prosecution of Democratic Liberties and Sympathy to Authoritarian Regimes in the Cultural Context_Death to Amerika!!"
