I have/had to work with equipment manuals that are transpolated Japanese-into-English, or "Jinglish" as I've named it over 25 years ago...

"Put plus-driver in plus-slot, rotate until needle is mid-metre, dot plus-slot with compound so not to rotate when removed plus-driver lightly."

TRANSLATION: "Insert phillips screwdriver into pot, adjust pot until needle is mid-scale, then "glypt" the pot to lock it in place when the adjustment is completed."

BTW, a Minus-driver is....yep, a straight-blade...

Those manuals were a hoot when you were bored...I'll have to look up a few more!

That's great. I've also read technical manuals that were poorly translated into Engrish. It's really funny.

Here's the text of a message we received at work:


Big problem occurred.
The baggage sent with fedex can't be taken back any more.
It can't go through customs in Anchorage.
Gloves for the work made of the cloth are into the baggage.
Textile VISA is necessary with the story of Japan fedex (these gloves) to go through customs.
If it can't obtain textile VISA, Japan fedex says that you must send back this carton to Japan.
It begins to take gloves in Japan, and decides to be sent again.
Work can't start by having been doing such a thing.
Though a gloves manufacturer was asked, even the existence of textile VISA isn't known.
The complaint which it has never listened to until now is taken.
It can't be understood well what is a problem.
Both miso and to say in Japan excrement are thought whether it is mixing.
When a fiber is sent to America, the case that it is necessary seems that be.
Even a spot is to cope with it though even a Japanese side has an effort.
Tracking number of the carton which gloves are in is as mentioned in the following.
Won't you do try if there is no it how you go through customs?
Big problem!


The frightening part is, I have been doing this for so long, I understood what they were saying!
