Tenorikuma Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Wow, I'm speechless. I suppose someone just ran the English version through an online translator and thought that was good enough. But who would miss such an error even if it is in French? Link to comment
disturbman Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 In fact I do think the english version is better than the french one, at least there is a funny side to at whereas the french version doesn't convey any meaning. Maybe it does but only if having a glue that doesn't know how to dress makes sense. To me it doesn't. So, I came of think that the name was first thought in english and then they ran it into an online translator. Link to comment
CaptOblivious Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I'm speechless too…but because I don't read French. Could someone translate for the illiterate? Link to comment
scott Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Tacky (meaning very sticky) Glue has been translated to Colle (glue) inélégante (meaning gauche, graceless, or, um, tacky). Link to comment
disturbman Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Und now, I understand I totally misread Tenorikuma post... My in-brain translator was too dysfonctionnal. Babeldist error. "gauche"? What does "gauche" mean in english, I have the feeling it's slightly different as in french... Link to comment
scott Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 The problem is probably with my off-the-cuff attempt to translate "inélégante." Yours earlier was no doubt better.... Link to comment
lbriand_fr Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I think I've used the same glue in my last attempt on flocking... The result was inelegant (or in french: moche, minable) Link to comment
scott Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Yeah, I've had some fairly tacky results of my landscaping attempts, but I can't blame that on the glue. :) Link to comment
