School removes sign over Spanish translation errors
You’d think that saying welcome should be a bit easier, however, it seems that translation errors can happen at the most basic level. More.
Share ThisCOLUMBUS A college’s attempt at a warm welcome got a little lost in translation.
Signs posted around Columbus State Community College Monday said “Welcome!” in English and three other languages. Unfortunately, the French and Spanish versions were wrong.
The French welcome was spelled “bienvenu,” but it should have included an “e” at the end. The Spanish greeting was “bienvenida,” but that word is used to welcome one girl. “Bienvenidos” is the word used to welcome all students.
