Humorous Translations

Whether it is at a restaurant, zoo, in a taxi or even a temple poor translations can lead to misunderstandings. This is also the pitfall of machine translation. If a machine translates something it will only give you the general gist, it does not take into account social context and colloquiums. For instance in the English language “Kick the Bucket” does not refer to someone literally kicking a bucket, however if translated by a machine then the literal meaning would be used. Therefore if you want quality correct translation a human translator is who you should use.
