Our company does a lot of odd jobs in the sense that the projects we’re working on don’t have any relation to each other.
Whilts one of our developers was working on a Norwegian website project, his Norwegian translator went on leave for a week, hence he had to do a bit of translation himself. It didn’t go all bad, and he was actually quite chuffed with himself for completing his work without the translator.
However, upon her return yesterday, she checked the website for any grammer errors while being on a Skype call with our developer. After a few minutes she burst out laughing, and laughed for about 5 minutes non-stop. It turns out that Norwegian can also be a tricky language, as the word which he used for the ‘BACK’ button, translates hysterically enough, into something along the lines of “ARSE”. I guess the word he used was more like backside – LOL.
There was even a help section in which he had used the word, and it read something like this: “If you want to change your delivery address, click the ARSE button”.
ROFL – Translation funnies are still some of my favourite jokes.
