Signs are meant to warn you about potential hazards or identify certain things but the task of translation may instead leave you crying from laughter or scratching your head in confusion.

One menu listing "temple explodes the chicken cube" I would dismiss as random Engrish. But two menus? Maybe this is a popular dish.

Chinese is a difficult language to translate, never skimp on quality translations!

But Star F*cks Coffee.

If you’re running a business in a tourist-heavy country, having signage in English is a smart move. However, your smarts go out the window if the English translations you display turn into the wrong kind of funny jokes. We understand that not everyone knows the language well enough not to get lost in translation, but please—don't trust Google Translate to give you anything but a literal conversion of whatever you type in, turning your sign into a hilariously bad translation.
