Hilarious Mistranslations...

[Sylvie]

Can anyone think of any funny sounding mistranslations you've heard? Not just from games?

1. All your base are belong to us.
2. Somebody set up us the bomb.
(and almost everything from Zero Wing or whatever its name is xD)

Post your mistranslations!

Anyway when I went to China I saw horrible mistranslations everywhere. Like "The Great Wall Welcome to You" as the huge billboard sign right on the road near the entrance and many others ;) Oooh in this park or something, there were the patches of brown dead grass and a sign that said "Luxuriant Grassland, Do Not Trample" or something like that, made me laugh :p I took pictures next to the sign.

Haha! I could come up with some perverted thoughts about that, but let's not get into it this time.

The best mistranslations pretty much come from Zero Wing and Final Fantasy IV, although FFVII's PSX version also has some great ones (however, they're fixed in the PC version).

"You, the man of darkness, using it doesn't mean anything to me, you fools!" - FFIV

"Truly!?" - FFIV

"You have no chance to survive make your time!" - Zero Wing

[Laugh at face of Danger]

Zero Wing, Zero Wing and oh, Zero Wing!

tee hee, "What happen?"

[Zeromus_X]

Most of those GBA Rockman games I've heard have hilarious ones. My friend showed me this particular, "What a polite young man she was". xD

There are quite alot though...incompetent translators.

[Jojee]

Oooh games ;) I thought you meant mistranslations in general. PIF wrong forum *whaps Genji*

This could be for any mistranslations you saw, not just games I guess.

[BG-57]

I once saw an arcade shooter that had a map including the 'Mediterranean See'. :D

engrish.com is the best place for non-video game mistranslations. They have something against Zero Wing though. :mad: Too bad, because it's the ultimate in funny bad translations.

Our university's restaurant has funny English translations to their meals sometimes. You people know meat balls, right? Once we had a vegetable version of it, i.e. vegetable balls, and the menu had it written as something like, "Vaegetable cake". The university's cafe has food and drinks you can buy and take with you, they're called Take-Away products. Once they had a sign that was calling those products "Take-A-way". :D

I have found a lot of Engrish over the years. I absolutely love Engrish. xD A more recent one I found in a 99 Cent Store:

[RPJesus]

All your base.

:D

My little Brian_the_Shark has a book full of weird translations. Things like 'Toilet oout of order. Please use floor below'.
'Don't fold pushchair while child is inside' or something. I don't think that was a translation, just something to be safe. You can sue for anything in America.

[MageLuingil]

This isn't quite a mistranslation, but...

My uncle went to China a while back. While there, he went to a restaurant that had "Noodles and Beef Balls" on the menu. He, of course, asumed it meant Spaghetti and meatballs. When they came out with the dish, he found that it was, indeed, a plate of noodles with three large beef balls on top.

Don't know why it's three, but ... He said it was a very good meal :P

Yeah but I can't find the pic now. It was a bar sign and read something like:

Soue good guy get bad thing
But I don't know about it
And so fuckin guy get good thing
But I don't know about it
What a hell's going on

These (http://zuiikingirls.ytmnd.com/) are less engrish more quirky Japanese (http://zuiikingirls2.ytmnd.com/), but they fit here better than anywhere else. (http://zuiikingirls3.ytmnd.com/)

[HolYuna]

On the official website for a Japanese rock band, SID. It used to say, ''roading'' -- which is reasonable but its funny at first. xD


Also, I once saw in a shop --
''bye your tee-cup there''
It was a sign in the window, hand-written and honestly, it said that.

[mooglebunni608]

did anyone post this one? http://engrish.com/detail.php?imagename=tamagb.jpg&category=Video%20Games&date=2003-09-02

[Sylvie]

No, but that one is awesome.
