Sinopsis

Hilarious Translation Fails explores the amusing and insightful world of language mishaps that occur when translating across cultures. These aren't just simple mistakes; they reveal the complexities of cross-cultural communication and highlight the importance of understanding cultural nuances in our globalized world. The book examines how linguistic errors can lead to unintended humor or even serious misunderstandings, especially in international business and marketing.

 
Did you know that a car model's name can mean "laboring slowly" in another language, or that a "chef's special" on a menu might be mistranslated into something far less appetizing? This book takes a unique approach by categorizing real-world translation fails by industry and context, demonstrating how mistranslations can impact everything from restaurant menus to public signage. It emphasizes the human element in translation, focusing on cultural understanding and intuition rather than just technical skills.

 
Beginning with fundamental translation concepts, the book progresses through various examples of language mishaps, ultimately providing practical guidance on how to avoid such errors. The goal is to equip readers with a heightened awareness of potential miscommunication in our interconnected world.

Backache - and How To Deal With It!

Owen Jones

Backache has become one of the most pervasive of all ailments on a worldwide basis. This is a shame since backache that has not been caused by single impact trauma is largely preventable, as it is the result of ignorance. 
Backache has been given status as a watchword for scammer, since it is so difficult to disprove that some people have used it as an excuse for time off work, when they were really quite fit. This is a shame, since it tarnishes all true sufferers of back pain with the slur or malingerer. 
I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and practical. The information in this ebook on how to cure backache and related subjects is organized into 18 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first.

Diseased: The A to Z of...

Dr Travis Brown

Our understanding of diseases have dramatically changed over human history. Early civilisations believed health and disease were directly caused by the gods. This is why priests and priestesses were also healers and doctors. 
The ancient Greeks introduced the four humours theory, namely that the body was composed of four fluids: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Disease and illness were caused by imbalances. Treatment was to rebalance these fluids. 
Our modern understanding of the human body and diseases began in the 18th century. Scientific observation, theories, and experimentation provided the basis to learn about cancer, bacteria, viruses, medications, surgery, etc.. 
Every disease has a story behind it. This is a book dedicated to finding those stories. Some are funny, some are sad, some are triumphant, and some are tragic, but all are true.
