I bought a little 3" Chinese mill vise. Not a bad vise, in fact for the money I'm impressed.
However, the "instructions" leave a little to be desired:

“In the transportation and the operation, forbid strictly the rap and the collision, otherwise the precision is unable to guarantee.”

I think I can see that as a sign in my shop, probably next to “Failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.”

Would have been easier to understand if they left it in Chinese !
I wonder what mind altering drug they were on when they translated it ?
 
My XJ9512 came with instructions that read in part "high spirits and machine do not mix".
 
What, I wonder, do they have against rappers? :rolleyes:
 
I had a Chinese copy of a 250 CC BMW bike. It came with a parts book. The nomenclature for screw was listed as the "F" word.

Imagine what Western news must read like if this is an example of their ability to translate.

I would love to see their translation of Machinery's hand book !

It is in perfect Chinese/Mandarin.
The translation of western news is carried out by party member in accordance with party principles, it has no relation to the original western news item.
