For the last few years, we have seen China rise. We have seen many foreign investors investing their products in China. Unfortunately, Chinese who want to learn english aren't that successful.

Have you been to Shanghai or Beijing? Those are the most productive cities in China. Productive in it's economic rise but not in their english. My goodness... try looking at their english signs! It's just simply wrong! "Be careful of landslides" YOu think it's placed somewhere near the streets? No! It's placed in the malls. Landslides are your buttocks. It just simply means be careful. When will the Chinese learn! Another example, do you wanna take a luggage that isn't yours? It is only in China that they promote stealing literally! It says "Take luggage of foreigner and also, with no charge!". I believe that when the foreigners see this, they will hesitate to go to this place. It just means Luggage Storage with no Charge. Also, the Americans did the same. Try google translating some words. It would mean differently and far from what you really want to talk about. Now what am I trying to prove or point out: Check first if its correct! They never check first... Just puts information! How stupid. The general public will even see it.

Well those are just some examples of funniness in Chinese translations. I really love how much we learn our english. One of the world's best. I hope that when you translate, you would counter check first your content!
