Wibbles Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 A sign put up by Swansea council in Wales: Officials emailed the English text to their in-house translation service. The "translation" in Welsh reads: "I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
