Hey Beth,

Although it's not QUITE the same thing, if you look at some of the
instruction manuals from some products made overseas and see some of the
translations that are included, you can find ALL KINDS of examples!
Granted, they are usually poor translations, but there should STILL be
someone somewhere to say if the English translation makes any sense before
sending out the manual with the product! One example, which I can't
completely recall, is something from a game that became all the rage, along
the lines of "All your base are mine" or somesuch.
