Chinese to English Translation
China really is taking over the world with their cheap consumable products. I'm not making a judgement on that, its just a fact.
My problem here is not a big one. Its more funny that anything else. I'm talking about the translations that occur on some products sold in English speaking countries. For the big items and from major companies, I'm sure the Chinese into English translation is done by professionals.
For some of the cheaper products, I'm not quite sure who they have employed for translation services. It shouldn't be so hard because even the most basic computer program could probably do better.
Take an item i picked up from the Reject Shop, an "Aroma Flower" room freshener. I bought it for the novelty value and the crazy Engrish. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it sure is funny. I think so anyway. Here it is, in the numbered order provided.
