Lovely. The last one looks as if done in an online translator, where "noun" and "adjective" must be replaced with the suitable words. But none replaced them. And these things cost money! But still, as a translator myself, I deal daily with clients who think that professional translation is too expensive, and that they can get away with an online translator or "just give it to the computer guy, he speaks English". Tragic for them, LOL for us.

Truth is, neither am I.
I was just wondering what had happened--not necessarily anxious to carry on.

Benji linked to me. The pictures are from my boss, who saw them in Tiberias.

I'll post a comment on the religious thing. I'm just not a fan of political or religious debates.

Ms. Rebecca, you're quite welcome.

Ruti - I allow us a little slack in translating obvious warning signs, but military presentations?!

I have been going over texts at my work ever since I was shown proudly a presentation for the US advertising our missile that one can lock on the target after the missile launch. Only the presentation said "after lunch", a far more leisurely affair.
A text given to a translation company came back in a horrific state: I was told that "the company promised that they would translate it again by someone who knows English well".

I'm trying to figure out how they could possibly come up with these translations, and I'm just lost....

I've seen some pretty bad English in Israel, but these definitely get the prize.

That you, lena, for the info on the arabic. Somehow that's easier to get right...

Aren't these absolutely the most ridiculous ever seen? I've never seen worse signs in Israel.

The Arabic says exactly what the Hebrew says.

The Arabic says exactly what the Hebrew says.

That is hilarious!
