Chinglish: Found in Translation
Author(s): Oliver Lutz Radtke
"Chinglish" offers a humorous and insightful look at misuses of the English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. A long-standing favourite of English speaking tourists and visitors, "Chinglish" is now quickly becoming a cultural relic: preparation for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, the Chinese government is determined to wipe out incorrect English usage.
Product Information
"As China opens up to tourism, more and more signs have to be translated into English. But as these hilarious examples prove, something is usually lost in the translation."
