Okay, who's willing to turn the tide and find sites in English that offer strange Spanish translations? It's only fair! wink

Just this morning I found another translation, undoubtedly from translation software, that made me laugh. First the Spanish and then the English: laugh

Quote:
En Adonis podemos disfrutar de 5 habitaciones, cuatro de ellas dobles, con balcón, y una con vistas a La Pedrera.
Quote:
In Handsome Youth we prune to enjoy 5 lives, four of double them, with balcony, and one to the view of the Pedrera Museum.
then it goes on to give directions...
Quote:
...it is in the habit of costing approximately 5.80€, the underground takes line 5 (blue color) and stoop in the stop of DIAGONAL underground you will be closely together of Handsome youth.
hehehe.... laugh

Anyone come across any others that made you giggle?

Saludos, MadridMan smile

Here is one for you, MadridMan:
In Spanish:
Quote:
Hotel con 100 habitaciones frente a la estación del AVE, este hotel que está situado en uno de los centros de negocios de la ciudad, combina su dinamismo con un valioso patrimonio cultural y con su majestuosa Mezquita.
In English:
Quote:
Hotel with 98 rooms opposite the AVE station. This hotel is to be one of the city's business centres, combining its dynamism with a valuable cultural heritage and this its majestic mosque.
Makes you want to ask them, what happened to the 2 rooms? laugh

Booklady: I'm moving to Cordoba tonight. I've always wanted a "free coffee shop." Do I need a business license, or do I just show up and assume ownership? laugh
