How weird!
I have some manuals that were very poorly translated on a few electronics. They crack me up. I'll have to see if I can dig some of them up this weekend.

Hmm..."polishing"..."ball"..."tongue" all in the same section. Subliminal manual writing at its best!

I work for a hobbyshop that sells a lot of the "Chinese" helis.
Pretty much every manual has some strange CHIN-Glish translation. (Chinese to English) It makes me laugh. If I would ever learn Chinese, I could make a fortune translating the manuals for these companies properly.

Not if you were getting paid a typical Chinese wage.
