This thread is part of the Translator playground: a place for translators to have fun, to network, to learn, and to hone their translation or linguistic skills. See the announcement here.

Need a quick break from work? In this forum translators and language professionals can share pictures of found mistranslations, comics, images representing translation, etc.

All are welcome to participate and to add new items to this and the other areas of the Translator playground; have fun with it! If you need help or would like to propose an addition to the Translator playground, contact site staff through the online support system.

Yes! "Pley steichon" is a made up spelling in Spanish that resembles how one would pronounce "Play station".

Ha!

I wonder how many Spanish speakers could understand the sign.

Tupperware Mar 30, 2012



That's how it should be written so that less literate Brazilians will read and pronounce something close to "tupperware". Otherwise it will come out like toopairvair.
