Chinglish

[Toggy]

Don't you just love the chinglish instructions in some manuals.

Anybody care to decipher these two.

1. Use foot bolt to forbid the machine leaning to the ground

2. Saw after the machine rolling regularly select different speed of filling material according to the different hardness and thickness of the wood. Forbid filling material too fast.

我整个地同意什么您说但当然您必须意识到汉语是一种更加复杂的语言比英语以许多词和字符学会。 并且, 让面孔它。 多少位westerners 是能翻译英语成汉语。As we often say.

1) bolt base down to prevent tipping.
2)Feed stock once blade has reached operating speed and vary the feed speed to suit stock dimensions and hardness. Never feed stock too fast.

Vote 1 for Mick to write asian machinery manuals.

His version is just a tad easier to understand. I wonder how many people just throw the instructions in the bin when confronted with the above rubbish?

Years ago I was trying to decipher some software, CHRISPAY, it proudly announced on screen that it was developed by UNIX, my comment was they could not spell.

[Daddles]

In my latter days in the pubic service (no typo), we had to develop all sorts of business plans and manuals and the like. But, the manager suddenly decided that we weren't going to be 'word smiths'. That these things would just be written and we weren't going to spend hours editing them. This was going to be a marvelous saving in time and money. So we produced a heap of badly written, badly spelt tomes with dreadful grammar. Just as well as no-one ever read the ruddy things anyway :D

Back in my (relative) youth I did a year of Japanese. One night towards the end of the year, they put a Spanish tape on in the language lab. Despite never having learned Spanish, I reckon I understood it better than Japanese.

Делает это, действительно имеют значение, в каком языке площадь инструкций напечатала. Австралийский иснт надлежащий английский язык так или иначе, более сходно с тарабарщиной и позволяет лицу это, мы никогда когда-либо читаем инструкции, пока мы не поднимаем вещи. Мужественная вещь с нами парни иснт это?
То, что они должны напечатать во всех случаях, - более детальный и универсальный слабоумный гид в картинной форме или помещает их в CD-ROM.

According to Babel Fish, it says:
This makes, they actually have a value, in what language the area of instructions printed. Australian isnt the proper English one way or another, more similar to gibberish allows for face this, we sometimes read never instruction, until we raise thing. Courageous thing with us the fellows of isnt this?

That that they must print in all cases, more detailed and more universal weak-minded guide in the figure form or places them into Cd- rum.

So are we all clear on that?

[beejay1]

well, you will use the aussie babel fish, no wonder you guys cant make sense of well written instruction manuals.
