Lost in translation

By Demotivation - 02/07/2013 14:35 - Germany - Berlin

Today, I was once again handed a document to translate, along with the comment, "Good luck, it doesn't make sense to begin with." If my translation doesn't, though, I won't get paid. FML

Fake it, if it makes sense according to the situation, you may be able to pull it off

How do you say "Take This Job and Shove It" in German? You need to learn that song by Johann von Paycheck and sing it to your boss when such bullshit gets tossed your way.

So you're proofreading and spell checking and translating at the same time? All hail Siri 2.0!

The perfect translation does not exist, well, at least not in your language, but if they must know, tell them to picture this: 50 billion rainbows and the sun is setting and the moon is setting also and they're there in a gazebo, and then God descends from heaven and gives them a million dollars.

I know that feeling. If all else fails, throw it into Google Translate, stare at the resulting jumble to see if the words have any kind of theme, and write something based on that. Always worked for me.

You are looking at this the completely wrong way...this is your chance to say whatever you want and blame it on the person who originally wrote it.
