I know it's not nice to mock mistranslations, but would you believe we're laughing with them, not at them? In response to recent criticism of the difficulty of identifying precisely what is at issue, two of our readers have chosen to highlight the offending element. Thanks for saving me the trouble!"
"Bad Dutch translation, or is't?" asketh Mike V. "I visited the Dutch Dell site https://www.dell.com/nl-nl and noticed the bad translation on the "Accept All" cookies button.

Funny thing is that the text above the buttons refer to the buttons with a completely different text (which is an Error'd in itself)" If I squint I can almost see how this kind of translation could happen.
"Going under german" meint Matthias J.. "Trying to add info to my Euro-Tunnel France to Britain booking, seems LeShuttle does not care for my (old) german language setting anymore." Mox nix, as Kilroy said.

The Beast in Black gets two extra points for the Johnny Five meme here but minus two for the Mr Miyagi. Easy come, easy go. Beast says "I'm floored! Apparently I can improve my floor so the Roborock robot vacuum cleaner can better it. How, though? Pre-clean? Wax on wax off? Need input, Stephanie!"
"This one made me laugh today. Please provide your psychic address." Yes, humour is a strong physic! TheRealSteveJudge "Really funny. This was found at German Ebay. A Chinese seller of Makita compatible stuff. Please provide your psychic address. Please see in the last line before the orange bar. What is my psychic address? I still have to find out."
