That said, having seem some of the weird results that come from feeding Chinese into online translators, Not Using A Chinese-English Dictionary Fail XD

The restaurant wanted to put up an english sign to attract people to it during the olympics. They put the name into a website translator, the server failed and gave them the error. They thought it was the english translation so they used it.

Im sure it started off as a little competition or inside joke on some forum or other, but now people do it for one reason only, to annoy people who hate it when people call “first” on internet forums.

That would be “Chan Guan” while its “Chan Ting”in the post.

How it becomes “Translate Server Error” is a even more of a fail than it being a stupid signboard for a food canteen.
