Post you funny translation mistakes

[Madejyathink]

ASL mistakes in class that made me laugh:
"I made coffee while masturbating." instead of "I made coffee at work."
"I cooked a vagina cookie." instead of "I cooked a big cookie." (CL:LL, but they touched their fingers.)
"I need you to die." instead of "I need you to roll over."

Post any of your funny mistranslations, from any language.

I just remembered a juice company from South Africa marketing their juice in Portuguese speaking Mozambique. It was "sem preservativos (http://translate.google.com/#pt|en|sem%20preservativos)."

When I was in middle school, the English teacher asked a boy the name of the British national anthem ; he answered : "God shaves the Queen."

Lol, that's classic. I'm from South Africa, I'll need to look this up so I can take the piss a bit.

Not really a translation mistake, but in mandarin Chinese "that" is pronounced similar to "nigger". Shitloads of foreigners misunderstand it, and I didn't even realize until my black friend told me.

It's the same in Spanish-speaking countries. Many a foreigner has asked for products "sin preservativos" and gotten bemused looks.

"Sin conservantes" is, of course, what is meant.

I've made a few decent translation errors in my time in Spain. One that took me a while to understand was when a friend asked for a Coca-Cola "light" in a bar and I followed that up by asking for a Coca-Cola "regular." Regular in Spanish doesn't mean "regular" or "normal," but rather "average/not good." Oops.

When I Spain we rented a jeep for a weekend. I wanted a Mistubishi Pajero because I had one that never let me down. In Spanish , Pajero mean Wanker. They gave me a Punto instead. :(

I'm currently in Denmark, going to school.

I called a friend of mine 'asshole' for two weeks until another one of my friends finally told me. I was wondering why they laughed whenever I called his name out too. ^_^

A friend of mine abbreviated "petit dejeuner" as "p.d.". My teacher pointed out that "pd" was short for "pédé" which was short for "pédéraste", a pejorative term for homosexuals in French.

lol, I typically have my homosexual before heading to work.

For a Spanish final, we were supposed to tell our teacher why we deserved a good grade in the class. My reply was supposed to be that I could give him lots of money. Instead I said I could give him lots of pain. He thought I was making a threat. haha

In Polish, 'szukac' (shoe-catch) means 'to search', in Czech it means 'to fuck'. Probably made for some funny translations errors by Poles in the streets of Czechia.

All my Filipino friends mispronounce the Thai cities of "Phuket" (Poo-ket) and "Koh Phi Phi" (Koh [which means island] Pee Pee). They pronounce them as "Foo-ket" and "Koh Fee Fee" because, in Tagalog, "Puke" (Poo-kay) means pussy and "Pi Pi" means dumb or stupid. So in this case the mispronunciation is deliberate because they don't want to say the city is a pussy and the island is retarded.
