Comments on: Lost in Translation http://izzymom.com/2008/06/20/lost-in-translation/ Where it's always amateur night... Sun, 21 Mar 2010 22:19:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Izzy http://izzymom.com/2008/06/20/lost-in-translation/comment-page-1/#comment-163943 Izzy Fri, 08 Aug 2008 20:35:20 +0000 http://izzymom.com/?p=671#comment-163943 @icek8girl I scanned the reader comments and I see nothing offensive so I assume you are referring to the comments under the photos. To that all I can say is this is a site written BY adults FOR adults. We don't get or expect many 12 year olds around here and thus are not particularly attuned to the sensibilities of younger readers and for that I apologize. To be honest with you, I feel very offended when i occasionally check out some teen and tween's Myspace sites. And Bratz dolls? Offend me to no end. Rappers on the radio that regard women as nothing but sex objects? Extremely offensive. The world is a pretty unpleasant place sometimes, even for old people like me. Take care :) @icek8girl

God, I love Engrish.com, but had forgotten about it until I saw your headline. and did you know the translation for The Grapes of Wrath" in Japan turned out to translate back to "Angry Raisins" ? Yeah, that works. “Where the emo kids shop” - LMAO.

The result? "Bite the wax tadpole." When Pepsi was doing their "Choice of a New Generation" campaign, the initial versions of the ads for China or Japan were something like, "Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the grave". It's not just asian to english... When Coke first went to China, they chose characters based on phonetics. The result? “Bite the wax tadpole.”
