@tomoakiyama Do you have a link to that page? Can't seem to find on http://tacobell.co.jp .
Taco Bell Japan's (poorly) Google-translated website making rounds now. e.g.#1 "Cheesy Chips" as "Low quality chips" pic.twitter.com/cSNwCwAYs4

@HirokoTabuchi They replaced the original website with the current one on the launch day after their translation fail went viral.

@tomoakiyama Apparently the site is getting hammered right now. I can't get into it to laugh at the silliness - View other replies

@Durf The translation feature is back on. -
@tomoakiyama Site isn't loading at all for me. It's the most popular destination on the web!

@tomoakiyama@ChrisJValdez stuff like this makes me feel secure in my career as a translator. -
@jasonrem85@ChrisJValdez Right, machine translation especially doesn't work between two languages as different as Japanese and English!

@tomoakiyama@HirokoTabuchi Doubly bizarre:ppl here scratching heads over Japan launch anyway—tacos chain?—now this. Amateurish. Good luck. -
@tomoakiyama Well to be honest, the chips probably closer 安っぽい than cheesy in reality. LOL.Translated from Japanese by Bing -
-
@tomoakiyama but I'd agree it's low-quality ^^ -
@tomoakiyama@HirokoTabuchi Maybe the rest of the site is off, but "cheesy chips" isn't ridiculous. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3091686/cheesy-chips … -
