'Jackie Chan' Translation Fails Are the Best Translation Fails

Everybody knows Jackie Chan. He’s a martial artist, an actor, a filmmaker, a singer, and more. What he is not is a bus stop in Sichuan, China. As noted by Austin Ramzy (via Eric Jou) on Twitter, the bus stop named “The University Jackie Chan Campus Station” is apparently a computerized translation fail.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); The institution is H25 Sichuan Normal University, which is the oldest teacher college (aka normal university) in the region. So, instead of “The University Jackie Chan Campus Station,” which is a great bus stop name and which is totally wrong, it should mirror the h25 com สล็อต​ correct Chinese written on the sign h25 com เข้าสู่ระบบ​ and read, “The Sichuan Normal University Chenglong Campus Station.” While you might think the sign looks Photoshopped, Chengdu Daily confirmed that it’s a real mistake and reports that the goof will be replaced. I hope the new sign reads “The University Sammo Hung Campus Station.” As it should. To contact the author of this post, write to bashcraftATkotaku.com or find him on Twitter @Brian_Ashcraft.
