The restaurant called "Translate server error"... 11 Aug 2008
AdFreak points to the best example of automated-translation-gone-wrong we have ever seen. As you can see in the image above, this Chinese restaurant appears to have used an online translation service (e.g. Babel Fish or Google Translate) to provide its customers with an English translation of its name. A noble intention. It's just a shame that the online translation service returned a "Translate server error"!

The funny thing is that, as far as I can tell, the Chinese part of the sign simply reads "restaurant" - so translation to English should have been straightforward. They must have caught Babel Fish on a bad day ;)
