Lmao I cringe/laugh whenever I see translation errors here. This is a sign posted in the bathroom in one of the business major buildings at my university, and it still cracks me up.


I'm not sure if it's improved, but Google Translate is atrocious when it comes to switching between Korean and English, especially because we structure our sentences differently. I've done a lot of part time work as a translator/editor and you can instantly tell when someone's used GT.
