I have a nightmare that keeps getting back to me where I'm standing in front of a big crowed saying: "Hi, My name is Jeff and I've delivered a few bad translations in my life as a professional translator". And the crowed answers: "We love you, Jeff!"
I am sure you have all done mistakes, but it seems that in my occupation a mistake might cost a lot more money and embarrassment than in any other.
7 1 4 Saw
But are we translators to blame? After all, I've translated millions of words as a professional translator and might have a few dozen wrong.
Anyway, I've decided to gather a few bad translations done by other translators. Here is a short list of the ones I believe were the worst in the last decade. Enjoy:
1. "Translate Server Error" on a large advertisement in China. I just love machine translation - never stops surprising me.
2. The most embarrassing translation failure was the one of US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton handing a gift to the Russian one with the text "Reset Button" in English and Russian. Problem is that the Russian term meant something else ("Overcharged"). Hey, can you hear me over there in the white house- Professional translation should proofread by another translator...
3. Ke-kou-ke-la - The Coke company did not check the meaning of their name in Chinese and found out too late that it means "female horse stuffed with wax". They had to destroy 1000's of signs already printed and find a new name.
4. T-shirt maker printed shirts for Pope visit. Instead of "I saw the Pope" (el Papa), shirts read "I saw the potato" (la papa)
5. A label on a Whiskey bottle says "Johnnie Worker Red Labial" - Now, isn't that professional translation?
6. Ikea launched a new bed in Europe under the name "Gutvik" which is a town in Sweden but also means "good fuck" in German. For that I would have to say Localization, Localization, Localization.
7."Fabriqué en Dinde" is in fact made in Turkey. But this time it's the one we eat and not the country.

Black Friday Hitachi C7SB2 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw Overview
This new circular saw combines Hitachi's rock-solid construction with a lightweight and ergonomic design. The saw has a powerful and smooth-running 15 amp motor with a replaceable carbon brush for long life and easy maintenance. The saw's aluminum-alloy base bevels from 0 to 55 degrees, with positive stops at 0 and 45 degrees. Depth of cut and bevel adjustments are both tool-free operations. The handle has a comfortable nonslip grip, and at only 10.1 pounds, it's hard to find a lighter-weight saw with this much power. Professionals and serious woodworkers who prefer sidewinder-style saws will find this to be among the best of the bunch. For people who want a little more, check out Hitachi's C7BD2 model, which is this same saw with an electric brake. --Brian TrinenBlack Friday Hitachi C7SB2 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw Specifications

Winner of the Taunton Press 2005 Best Value award, the C7SB2 features a single-phase 120-volt, 15 Amp motor that generates a no-load saw speed of 5,800 RPM and an output of up to 2,100 watts.
The 7-1/4-inch, 24-tooth, carbide-tipped blade with 5/8-inch arbor powers through tough cuts with ease. It has a 1-27/32" depth of cut at 45 degrees and a 2-3/8" depth of cut at 90 degrees. And with a cutting depth lever, the C7SB2 makes it easy to select the right depth for the job.
Perfect for a Wide Range of Beveling Applications
The C7SB2 Circular Saw is capable of not only making accurate 90-degree cuts, but it can also make clean bevels from 0-55 degrees in just about any common framing material.
An adjustable lever makes it easy to find the bevel stops at 0, 45, and 55 degrees. It helps keep your blade true and accurate by locking the blade in place at the desired angle. A blade guard protects your hands during angled cuts, and a spindle lock provides an extra level of safety.
Full of User-Friendly Features
The C7SB2 has a host of features that will make your next cutting job as easy as can be. To start, a one-piece die-cast aluminum alloy base features easy-to-read front and side scales for accurate measurements.
The non-slip Elastomer-grip handle keeps you in complete control of the tool and provides comfort for all-day jobs. What's more, this saw weighs only 10.1 pounds, so it is extremely easy to maneuver and transport.
To top it all off, an easily accessible carbon brush lets you replace the brush as needed to prolong the life of the tool.
The C7SB2 Circular Saw is backed by a five-year limited warranty.
