O awesome.club wants to share with you some of the funniest translations where people probably thought they were doing pretty well, but in fact turned out to be just another flop. Check out!

“Soup to wash your hands”

(the correct thing would be to use “soap” which is “soap”)

“Exhausted Floaters” was translated into English as: “Exhausted Floaters”

Batata brava, the dish, was translated as “Angry Potato🇧🇷

Sangria, the drink, has been translated as “bleeding” which means bleeding, or bleeding

In Spanish, “Take off the chain” has been translated, literally as “take the chain” — pull the chain or pull the discharge, as used in the past. The correct one in English is “flush the toilet🇧🇷

On the board in Spanish, instead of just translating, there is the instruction for the translation that should be done from English.

“1. Hello Luis, my name is Angelica, everything is fine except if you decide to modify the section

2. You can leave this general warning of the hunt.

3. The hunting product must not be used for anything other than hunting or you can put the same meaning but different words this product must not be handled except by qualified personnel for its use”.

In Spanish, it says “cavalher haircut”, in the sense of a male haircut, which should have been translated into English as: “male haircut“, and not “knight haircut” which would be like saying that it is the haircut of a knight, a member of the cavalry.

The translation error was related to the title of the menu page. 🇧🇷Author’s homemade dishes” are, in Portuguese, “author’s homemade dishes”, created by chef of that establishment. In its place, the translator put “domestic plate copyright” which means, in literal translation, “copyright of domestic dishes”, that is … it has nothing to do.

The mother-in-law’s tongue, in addition to being a common toy at birthday parties, is also a type of sweet bread, which exists in Brazil and in several Spanish-speaking countries; in the English translation, it was used “language of mother in law” which means “the tongue—mother-in-law’s language.” In short, she subverted the name of the candy.

In English paper is “paper” and “roll” is used to indicate character, function. The translator’s mistake was to put “roll” where should have put “paper🇧🇷 The translation was “Please put the character in the basket”.

“Welcome, tourist. We speak English” (the sentence is misspelled. It should be written: “Welcome tourist we speak english🇧🇷

It should be written “don’t touch🇧🇷
