Bad anime subtitles can be funny, bad real world translations have their own special humor aswell. These pictures were compiled by the nytimes ; Fortified by an army of 600 volunteers and a politburo of adroit English speakers, the commission has fixed more than 10,000 public signs (farewell “Teliot” and “urine district”), rewritten English-language historical placards and helped hundreds of restaurants recast offerings. The campaign is partly modeled on Beijing’s herculean effort to clean up English signage for the 2008 Summer Olympics, which led to the replacement of 400,000 street signs, 1,300 restaurant menus and such exemplars of impropriety as the Dongda Anus Hospital — now known as the Dongda Proctology Hospital. Gone, too, is Racist Park, a cultural attraction that has since been rechristened Minorities Park.

22 Feb 08 - Over 2000 members! I've also seen loads of great pictures recently.

Japanese ENGRiSH
It can only be seen to be believed - the Engrish being masqueraded as real English here in Japan. It can be seen on signs, people's jackets, t-shirts and shopping bags, in menus and on TV. But no where is it more prevalent than on the various consumer products found in convenience stores and supermarkets. Here you will See a shit load of such good engrish thats to good to be true.
Why does Engrish have such a fascination for us native speakers? Personally I find it a huge source of amusement that in Japan - a nation ostensibly obsessed with learning English - that there's so much "English" visible which is not only wrong, but often hilariously so. This isn't poking fun at other people's speaking abilities - no doubt I make enough howlers in other languages myself - but at the sheer flood of weird words which wash over you in Japan. It looks like Tesco is not the only global concern based in an English-speaking nation which can't list excellence in its native language amongst its core competencies. It's important to have a life vision, and when it comes to garbage receptacles that's one thing you don't want to be expressing witty remarks about. Let's also be clear that yes we can resist the temptation to attempt to make some clever comments about the colour of the said receptacle.

Engrish - Definition
An example of Engrish noted in Tokyo in the year 2000 Engrish is a slang term which, in its purest form, refers to poor-quality attempts by professional Japanese writers to create English words and phrases; whether in mistranslation of an original English text, or in an attempt to create an original text in the English language. The Japanese-specific terms Japlish and Janglish also exist, although they are much less common and typically considered more derogatory.

Although all Japanese people spend years studying English in school, that doesn’t mean they understand it one bit. Sure, they have rather extensive vocabularies (most of the people I’ve met here know the English words for every fruit from peach to pomegranite) — but Japanese people can’t string together a grammatical English sentence to [...]

Qui n'a pas déjà eu le fou rire (ou un haut-le-coeur) en lisant un menu de restaurant écrit dans un français ou un anglais approximatif ? Si ça ne vous ai jamais arrivé, allez vite faire un tour dans le Quartier chinois de Montréal... Vous allez rapidement comprendre ce que je veux dire. C'est absolument délirant la quantité de coquilles qu'on peut trouver. On en voit dans les menus, mais sur les produits alimentaires aussi.
I frequent the Antique listings on Craig’s List. This made me laugh out loud as I suspect it was probably posted by a FAB (fresh across the border): I guess Felix B Pelo, Sr. says it best, “Our Guest Pls. Do not inter if you wet body with dress and short to this way left side and right side go to bath room. Thank you. Felix B.

Nothing against them of course. But I do find it fascinating that so many of them mainland Chinese can be found at virtually all levels of society in Singapore: in coffeeshops taking orders for your drinks, in universities studying for their exams, or even in a luxury condo after marrying some rich Singaporean tycoon. I went to an authentic Chinese restaurant the other day hoping to sample some authentic Si Chuan dishes. What I found there instead, was something much more exciting.
