terrible translation
Maybe someone should tell Celio's marketing department not to use Babelfish for the translation of their dark denim hangtags, what do you think? :)

"Attention! This jeans runs flat broke. Be careful with clear surfaces before the first wash. Pay attention to wash inside out at 40° in order to protect initial color. Rubbings will continue and will disappear after some washes."

(The French reads: Déteint à sec avant premier lavage. Attention au contact avec des surfaces claires. A laver à l'envers à 40° pour conserver la couleur d'origine. Un léger dégorgement aux frottements se poursuivra et s'estompera après quelques lavages.)

That's what I found on one of my son's clothes :
MACHINE WARM WASH
DO NOT BLEACH
WARM IRONING
DRY CLEANING
DO NOT TUMBLE DRY
LA MACHINE
CHAUFFE SE LAVE
PAS LE DECOLORANT
REPASSAGE CHAUD
NETTOYAGE SEC
PAS LA CHUTE SECHE
;-)
PS : Great weather in Flaine, but very crowded ! We left before traffic jam time ;-)

HAH! I use Babel when I need to translate stuff from your blog and it never fails to crack me up! HAh! That was hilarious! So, any recommendations on which webbie is great for translation then? HAH!

You need me, so lets hang out! ;) A live person is always better than machine translation (MT), still the free ones can give you an idea about what is going on in the text, which is still ingenious when you think about it.
