CD player problem.....

[Rob998]

Not really, but some guy had a problem with his and the manual was all in Japanese, so he placed an ad on the internet asking for help translating it, and this guy decided to help....

Hmm... Those Japanese manuals are something... the manual for my mother's toyota says something like "Warning, the airbag may fail to operate if the car falls down a hole". Nothing about demons though.

Wow, thanks for that! Laughed the whole way through that one!

That's great, and we never do find out what the brand is! Just as well. Prior to this, the best I had seen was the manual to a friend's Japanese outboard boat engine, which referred to the "honorable choke."

I used to get error messages from my European IT colleagues for a pan European computer system.

Some were obvious as to what had gone wrong. Some, were less so . For example :

"Beware!! For the error is none!"
"The lady, she has grown a moustache"
"The dog eats it's tail"

Translation is an art, not a science

"If you fail banishing of audio demon, your failure. Much dishonour of family name. Suggest immediate death by Seppuku."

Good public relations, that company has! Their CD player breaks down beyond a DIY repair, and the suggested solution, you kill yourself.

I think that the guy "helping" the poor unfortunate who was having problems was maybe playing a joke on him and not really translating what was on the page....

He has a history of replying to want ads on the internet & spoiling the advertisers day: http://dontevenreply.com/index.php
