Romanian to English translation mistakes - Makes every tourist laugh!

I wanted a Romanian to English translation so I went to an official translator.

Every legal document must be translated for it to be valid so you know what you are getting. If you saw my wedding photos you would think I was marrying my translator as we read the A4 translation together.

In my early married days in Romania, I had a stunning confidence in my Romanian skills - 8 years on, my Romanian is much better though I have far less confidence in it .. partly due to my early experiences. My father in law each day would drive with me to work. This was for several reasons. The first was to teach me how to drive like a Romanian. Te second was so he could use the family car in the day. I used these happy times to perfect my English to Romanian translation skills. I would come home to Irina, my wife, reporting truly amazing tales where Nae, my father in law would do as I asked. He would go home and report to his wife and daughter stories of my amazing change of heart on ideas.... it turns out in the car we would have 2 completely different conversations - each babbling away and no-one really minding.

There are frequently funny mistakes in Romanian menus such as fried crap (Crap is Romanian for carp). There is another in Otopeni airport warning you not to export more than 10 litres of bear in your luggage - they meant beer - but only after succeeding to liquidize a bear into easy to transport plastic bottles!
