Hi folks,

One of my Christmas presents  this year was a battery booster found from a link provided on this list. I love languages and am currently doing a poor job learning French so please don’t take the following comments in any way but respectful.

My product was made in China.  I asked my girlfriend to read the instructions so i could record them for future reference.  this turned out to be impossible   because my girlfriend could not stop laughing at the unusual language created through translation.

My favorite line was about what to do after connecting the battery booster.  It said something like “tighten Key and launch  vehicle.” Launching a vanagon  is truly something I would like to see!

I create my own amusing language with dictation on my computer and unfortunate spell checker choices. some of which are probably in this message!

Does anyone have any translation quotes they would like to share? 
Once my vanagon touches down I’ll loosen the key and come in to check them out.
