Mistranslated signs has a fun collection of mistranslations which interpret into accidental humor. We have this database not only to share the mistranslated text, but to offer the visitors a place to post the mistranslated signs they have found in their travels.

Some signs in the site loosely fit. Meaning, they were found in English speaking countries, and the people writing them either didn't check them, or simply didn't think it through, like "bargain Basement Upstairs" - London Department store.

Have fun and if you have seen them, please share them.
