Want to make a negative impression that lasts? Are you into copy that makes you laugh and cry? Then look no further than the Balkans, where poor tourist copy thrives!
There's a Bum gelateria in Maribor, Slovenia 😄. And I've always had a soft spot for all the names of discos throughout the Balkans too. In my cousin's town, one night we went from "Las Vegas" then to "Sacramento" and finished off at "Philadelphia"
That's so true that there's no good excuse for bad translations. But hey, cutting corners or outsourcing overpriced contracts to incompetents is the Balkan way. Doing things by the book seems always to be "a matter of future" 😔
I love a bad translation. Of equal hilarity are humorously named products. I’m sure I ate a Bum ice-cream in Macedonia

Wow! These days there is really no excuse for bad translations! Those examples were pretty funny 😆

Love it!
Funny (if depressing).
I agree!
