Trash(y) Translations

(Apologies to those of you who have me in your Google Reader list for earlier posts that were mistakenly published in my eager rush to share this link)

I typically spend the end of my lunch break catching up on translation blogs and other more light-hearted reading. Today I had a rare treat, a very humorous German-language post by False Friends, Bad Translation, Denglisch about the Stuttgart Airport's efforts to have the labels on its waste bins translated into English. It's well worth a read during your afternoon coffee/tea break.

Thanks (again) to Jill Sommer at Musings of an Overworked Translator for sending me the link.
