Direct word for word translations just don't work when the languages and structures are too different. The mistranslations are quite funny when you understand both languages and see how they got mistranslated as such... :smile:
Some hilarious pics I got in my email:

LOL .... I want to see how foreigners can make some laughs out of these " grossly " bad translations.
Can anyone confirm if China's private businesses are increasingly use traditional Chinese ?
