Lost In Translation

Unique lunacy of a foreign language Someone asked me to help to translate a restaurant menu and she claim to have good knowledge of english as she has worked in a hotel reception few years ago. Here are some samples of the original translation.



German :Tageskarte ........... Translation: Daily map

Lumberjack Steak
German : Schweinerückensteak mit Schmelzzwiebel und Röstkartoffel ............Pig back steak with fusion bulb and roasting potato

German: Züricher Geschnelzeltes von Truthahnbrust auf feinen Champignon a la crema und hausgemachten Spätzle.
......Inhabitant of Zurich Geschnetzeltes of the turkey on fine mushrooms à la crème
and house-made schwabian noodles

Do I really need to translate ? :-)
