I had to pass along this story, because I found it super funny. This sign is up over in the UK. Obviously, the english is easy enough to read. However, they emailed their translator to translate that into Welsh. When they received an email back, they assumed (and we all know what happens when you assume) that the reply was the translation. Instead, the Welsh reads “I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated.” I am still giggling over that. Obviously, they need an inhouse translater.
Thats hillarious….ha ha ha …I cant stop laughin….
Hehehehehehehe!! That is too funny! Goes to show you that people don't really pay attention to signs or the translator!!
Your FL furiends,
OMG, toooooo funny!
Yes, this has received a lot of publicity here in the UK. I think that most of the Welsh population only speak English, so they would be as much in the dark as everyone else. I remember when I first started work 36 years ago, one of the first things I was taught was, 'never assume, always ascertain', and that was a long time before e mails.
LOL that is too funny, one of the drawbacks of auto-reply emails!
HaHa… too funny! I love to see the funny signs. Misspellings and mistranslations can be a riot.
Lol awwh, 'tis true, you must proofread everything before you put up stuff. & lol that sign's up in UK with a mistake. Funny. ahah.
That is one of the funniest things I’ve seen and read in a long time! I love the saying about assuming something because it’s always true.
I see signs like this all the time. I once saw "SOTP" painted on the ground next to a stop sign. Honestly, how do you make that mistake?
haha… 😆 keep it coming dude! 😎
Heh heh – I love funny signs! Thanks for the chuckle 🙂
I get the BIGGEST kick over other people making a fool of themselves, mainly because it's not me @ the moment.
This is too funny~

*chuckle* .. I heard that his week .. Great story!
That is the funniest thing… and another proof that assumptions are most likely wrong!
There's just one thing I don't understand.
How come no one told them?
Is it because people don't even read the signs
or maybe
because Welsh-speaking inhabitants prefer to have a joke displayed?
OMG, I was nearly lmao when I read this joke, Lisa lol
Thanks for the laugh and I learned a lesson here, "Always double check your words here!"
Thats hillarious….ha ha ha …I cant stop laughin….
