New blades for my “multi function swinging shovel”🤣

[sjacobs7]

Really get a chuckle from the Chinese translation for my oscillating tool blades…….

Haha!

I can't mock them too badly though, their English is a lot better than my Chinese.

If you haven't used your recip. saw to dig a bit, it's underutilized.

Word for word translations are usually bad with poor context.


Really bad when they include directions.

When I worked for a leaf spring manufacturer I often traveled to our facilities in China, and sometimes we would have an engineer from china come look at our chinese equipment over here.

More than once we found out that their english and my chinese weren't good enough to mesh. But once an engineer and I figured out if we both spoke spanish it was better!

What I love about new tools is they come fully furbished!

We've used translation services for our manuals in the past. I remember getting a call from a customer in LATAM laughing. Even simple things can get screwed up. Meter can mean different things in English. In Spanish they have different words for meter the distance and meter the thing that displays a measurement.
