Because of the misfortune, Internet users worldwide have seen photos of the restaurant sign displaying the supposed English translation, Translate server error. Unfortunately, the translation utility was not working that day. Instead, the restaurateur typed the restaurant name into a machine translation program, which quickly returned some English text that was printed and placed above the business storefront without review. To save a few pennies in creating the sign, someone working for the restaurant skipped use of a professional human translation. In 2008, a Chinese restaurant displayed a bilingual sign above its storefront to accommodate English-speaking patrons.
