Translations Gone Wrong

In the modern world, plenty of people who speak different languages meet and mix very successfully.  Given that the proposed world language, Esperanto, never did catch on, most people are left to translate their own tongue into English - often with unfortunate results.  These are some of the funniest examples of translations gone wrong you'll ever see, and a couple of them have actually resulted in something quite rude. But it's all borne out of wonderful innocence of course!

18. Get me in there!

 

19. A slightly specific noodles market.

21. If it did that to the poor cow, what will it do to my stomach??

 

22. The agony of having to choose...
