One of them, about an CDROM reader, traslates "Tray eject button" as "Botón para eyacular la bandeja", which translated back to english means something like "Button to cum on the tray" XDDD On our university students association we keep some copies of electronic device manuals that are really, really funny.

We hungarians are in the same situation. A lot of translations probably made by persons without any deeper knowledge of hungarian language. And more terrible (or interesting) is the upcoming version of the language. We call it hunglish. A lot of us working in the world of IT at multinational companies, where the language of the work is english. But among us we are using our mother tongue, plus english words with hungarian conjugation, prefixes and postfixes. For example: "Aprúvoltam a rikvesztet". It means: I've approved the request. I think this is running all over the world. I can't decide if it is the evolution of the languages, or this will be the end of humans cultural diversity. Regards, Zoltan Hehe, very funny (or not?)!
