Creative Diversions
The Top 10 Funniest English Translations
|
|
|
| |
As a global company, many of us are exposed to, well, creative translations on a regular basis. The Creative Diversions Team has scanned the Globe (ok, the internet), looking for examples of the funniest translations we can find. We found many. And believe it or not, many of these same translations were listed on multiple websites, so these must really be the cream of the crop.
But no one had ever ranked them. (We at CD are always breaking new ground.) So read below for our ten favorites, and then check out the entire list here. If you disagree with our rankings, simply “tootle your horn vigorously.”
And remember, you can always submit your own. If you’ve come across translations like these, or better than these, email them to us, and we’ll post them on the site for the enjoyment of all. (Remember, family-friendly, please.)
