_V_ Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 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.

jnelsoninjax Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 It's funny because it's so true! But in all defense, I'm sure the powers at be whom placed the sign most likely were native French speakers, and only know limited English.

-KJ Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/846428-picafter-engrish-comes-frenglish/#findComment-591862100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
