scroll-lock mode retranslation

#1 Post by yop »

hey guys,

would it not be fun to retranslate some of the worst translation failures ?

here is a demo:

English: in scroll-lock mode (the key beside "SYS-rq")

German "google translate style": in der Mode der Schnörkelfesselung :eek:

retranslate: in the high-fashion of ornament-tethering :eek: :eek:


(EN "mode" is a "false friend" of DE "Mode" (= fashion of clothes)
mode is "Modus" in DE.)
