My mom is Japanese. She just surfed to my site using a Japanese search engine. Here’s what she saw:
I was looking at your site while on Japanese MSN and your site was in Japanese, but the translation was bad. I am so sure that someone either not fluent in English OR not fluent in Japanese made the translation program.
“pre order now” = “you are to place your order now”
“sign up” = “you are to register this minute” (or else…)
This program is translating word for word like a dictionary.
You are to pre-order now or you will be assimilated…

The last line might have made me giggle just a little. I had a Trekkie moment.

by SylviaLOL at those translations. And the Trekkie moments. Question is, will the translations work? Will they order now or sign up this minute?
