The English is clear enough to lorry drivers - but the Welsh reads "I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated."

Can anyone top that?

Whoever originally put that pic on the internet is a tool. It's not a mistranslation, a typo, racism, or anything else sensational. It's a sign proclaiming that foreign food is in one aisle and dog food is the aisle on the other side.

This is written in Maori. one of the longest place names still in use today. It means "The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who traveled about, played his nose flute to his loved one"

Not kidding

Edit: It is a single word as well
