This thread is part of the
Translator playground: a place for translators to have fun, to network, to learn, and to hone their translation or linguistic skills. See the announcement
here.
Need a quick break from work? In this forum translators and language professionals can share quotes about translation, tongue twisters and word plays, translation challenges, etc.
All are welcome to participate and to add new items to this and the other areas of the
Translator playground; have fun with it! If you need help or would like to propose an addition to the Translator playground, contact site staff through the
online support system.
Hi all,
I want to share with you a video featuring a short compilation of translation blunders.
You can watch the video here .
As part of the feedback received on Facebook on this video someone suggested a nice idea "I think you should translate the message from the ending to all those languages".
If you enjoy this video and you fancy the idea of translating the message at the ending into as many languages as possible, you can post below the translation + language and I'll include it in this post.
