No no, see, this was a block of text that was put through a translator. Most foreign companies use these for simplicity's sake. I find it funny how inaccurate the translator engine is, not their inability to speak english.

![]() My own personal idiocy was in translating a manual for a ship's computer into French, and we used the word (don't laugh, Thomas) "couvee" instead of "ecoutille". Couvee = hatch (as in a group of eggs) Ecoutille = hatch (as in the thing that closes a ship's hold weathertight) Luckily, I ran the thing past a friend who is a native francophone, and she nearly died laughing. We published it later....
