I love it when translations go wrong – if you search around on the internet then you find loads of them. My personal favourite is when I was on holiday in Italy and the menu offered:
“Panna cotta with wood sauce” – yum!
However, I think tonight’s may go into my top two.
I was in the gym and they have a few TV screens on permanently with the sound off, so they show the subtitles. This evening I was there during the news and of course the Mandela sign language interpreter was the main story. However as part of it the subtitles claimed that:
“Nelson Mandela won South Africa’s first aquatic election following apartheid.”
(If you’re not sure, I think they mean democratic.)
