Excerpt from a professionally Finnish-to-English translated text: "I'm a sales manager, but in my free time I am a fire extinguisher."
Time taken by the agency to provide the translations: over a month
Length of total text: 7 half-empty A4 pages
Cost to the client: I don't even want to know...
Result: me unable to decide whether to roll on the floor with laughter, or despair, because the rest of the translations were of a similar level, just less funny, and I'm not allowed to fix them.
Cheers,
Hedi
