Translate server error

[riddlermarc]

I'm not sure if this has been posted before but I just saw it via Slashdot.

"Preparing for English-speaking visitors, a restaurant in China recently ran its name through an online translator, took the result, then purchased and mounted a large sign displaying the English version of their name: Translate Server Error."

Epic fail methinks.

餐(厅/廳): Restaurant.
Or in engrish: Translate Server Error.

"stupid gits" .. harsh.. if I went to a translation site and translated "My Cafe" to Chinese, I wouldn't have a clue if it were right or wrong..

but you'd get someone to confirm it before making a huge sign, surely
