When translations go wrong: half a chicken

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Sometimes you see signs that have been translated into German, only not quite translated correctly. This can have funny results. Take this example seen on Lanzarote:

halb-gebraten-hahnchen.jpg

The correct translation would be “ein halbes gebratenes Hähnchen”, ie. one half of a cooked chicken. Unfortunately a “Halb Gebraten Hahnchen” means one half-cooked chicken…
