Either you are not from France or your French is a wreck. There's nothing wrong with that sign, and is plain correct French. What it pretty much says is:

For your own safety, be careful during cleaning operations of the waterbody.

Respect the environment, don't leave your trash on the beach.

Respect the current nautical regulations.

For more information, check with the beach supervisors at the aid stations.

The city of Menton is grateful and wishes you a pleasant stay.

Though I'm not from France nor am I a native French speaker.

Epic Fail.

You're missing the point. The post was what was actually printed on the sign in English as the translation of the French.

You are the epic fail.

Weirdly enough the italian translation is correct.

You should see some of the T-Shirts in Japan.

Well at least in the 90's, a lot of them were crazy... one had an ice rink with cute little penguins playing hockey, with little comic balloons and writings such as "#@!$" and "What the hell?"

I laughed so hard. You gotta love literal or uneducated translations.

Don't get me started on incorrect use of Chinese/Japanese as tattoo's xD

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!

      It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By M. Murcek · Posted

      I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.
