Lost in Translation Forty Seven

This road sign was recently erected on a roadway in Wales, where all signs are required to be bi-lingual. The English version was prepared and sent off for translation by email. The reply to the email was duly received and the sign was manufactured and erected.
The English instruction is perfectly clear to lorry drivers – but the Welsh reads “I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated.”

Thanks to Beau Frére, Padraic de Bhaldraithe, for this.
