Say What Again Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 Haha, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/7702913.stm It seems to be a recurring problem with signs and the Welsh language. The blunder is not the only time Welsh has been translated incorrectly or put in the wrong place: ? Cyclists between Cardiff and Penarth in 2006 were left confused by a bilingual road sign telling them they had problems with an "inflamed bladder". ? In the same year, a sign for pedestrians in Cardiff reading 'Look Right' in English read 'Look Left' in Welsh. ? In 2006, a shared-faith school in Wrexham removed a sign which translated the Welsh for staff as "wooden stave". ? Football fans at a FA Cup tie between Oldham and Chasetown - two English teams - in 2005 were left scratching their heads after a Welsh-language hoarding was put up along the pitch. It should have gone to a match in Merthyr Tydfil. ? People living near an Aberdeenshire building site in 2006 were mystified when a sign apologising for the inconvenience was written in Welsh as well as English.
Say What Again Posted June 1, 2010 Author Posted June 1, 2010 Just noticed the story is from 2 years ago. Strange it's currently No.1 on the BBC websites 'most shared' section.
