drogon Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 When officials asked for the Welsh translation of a road sign, they thought the reply was what they needed. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/7702913.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unit731 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Good God ! This reminds of Quebec Province. Who the hell votes in this bi-lingual crap ! Fumier de cheval politiquement correct ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Probably the people to whom the country belongs ... i.e. the Froggies in Quebec and the Taffs in Wales. Would you prefer they banned English? p.s. Damned if i know why they started all of this bilingual crap in Thailand. It was a lot more fun when everyone had to read Thai.

unit731 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 No sweat, GI. You numbah one! Yes, of course, I respect all cultures and ethnic groups. But this lingual and bilingual crap goes too far sometimes. Here I am trying to clean/dissemble my Ruger 9MM and all the instructions are in Spanish !!!!

Boo Radley Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Nice one. Here's another one I came across a while back. A Chinese restaurant called 'Translate Server Error." http://www.boingboing.net/2008/07/15/chinese-restaurant-c.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I don't get why the email wasn't in English as well. They want signs to be bilingual but an automatic email from a govt office was just in Welsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 It may well have been in English too, but the morons weren't intelligent enough to realise that the Welsh text was not actually the translation they requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
