'Translate server error' Restaurant in China
No English speakers were involved in the making of the banner for this restaurant in China. I hope. As for the Chinese name, it's just "restaurant." "Translate server error" is definitely more memorable.

China is a fabulous land of mistranslated or poorly constructed grammar signs. One of my favourites I saw whilst there was located next to a body of water. It read, "Please fall into lake carefully."
A bit of conversation and we explained to our translator why we found it so funny and he too got the joke. He spent a good time afterwards explaining it to his fellow countrymen instead of translating for us. :P

He, he, he...
Yes, Chinglish can be immensely entertaining. But, if you happen to be in China learning Chinese, you discover it has a double edge. The edge being that it is a constant reminder that to Chinese people your Chinese can sound just like their English.
