What are the funniest you have read? For example one in Latvia was written in Latvian which seemed quite straight forward but was translated as "sweat and sour sauce".
Another read "Bulls balls a speciality!" (Hope that will not get erased as abuse. None is intended. I look forward to reading your answers!!!

I don't read the English translations, but I once had a menu translation project for the EU.
I was sorely tempted: One dish, literally translated would have been 'Pigeon's wooden leg.'
Another was some meat dish 'in a blood sauce.'
I could have translated 'Crème brûlée' as 'burnt cream'.
I once read a translation of Ravioli into German, which actually said 'pastry pockets with feeling' as opposed to 'filling'.

Sense my friend is a big fruit lover she ordered a "fruita omelet" in Quebec. She ended up with a jelly omelet. On the same day I almost got real blood pudding when I asked about the Black pudding.

As salaamu 'alaykum, my pal. Insha'Allah, every person is permitted and inspired to examine the Holy Qur'an, even in a translation (i might recommnd that via A. Yusuf Ali, with fact). to verify with reference to the Prophet Muhammad, sala Allahu 'alayhi wa salaam, i might advise, "Muhammad, a Prophet For Our cases", via Karen Armstrong and "in the Footsteps of the Prophet" via Tariq Ramadan. you'll be allowed to circulate to a mosque ( or a masjid, the extra precise call), and the brothers might make you welcome. i might additionally advise which you're taking it sluggish to examine the Bhagavad Gita, the holiest e book of the Vedic literature of Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism). The "Bhagavad Gita as that's", translation via His Divine Grace A C Bhaktivendanta Swami Prabhupada, with fact is amazing and precise. study approximately all the non secular expression of humanity, getting to grasp the reality contained in each and all and you would be a extra useful individual for having completed so. ma'a salaam, shalom, peace, namaste
