While cleaning out a desk drawer I found these amusing machine translation errors I’d noted down months ago. So here they are (sorry about the line breaks within words):
Mensch das ist super lieb. | Human that is super nice. | Man, that’s really nice. |
Ich war nur ehrlich und habe jetzt den Salat. | I was just honest and now I have the lettuce. | I was just being honest and now I have to deal with the consequences. |
Liebe Frau Knopf | Dear Mrs. Button | Dear Mrs. Knopf |
Ich bin leicht sauer. | I’m slightly acidic. | I’m a little angry. |
Darüber bin ich sehr erbost und weiß aber auch das [sic] Fehler passieren können. | I’m very angry about that and white but also the mistakes happen. | I’m very angry about it, but I also know that mistakes happen. |
