Translation.... you gotta love it.

Post by harvey »

being new to shoguns I'm constantly on the net searching and double searching etc.... so when i copied and pasted V5M31 which i understsand is a code for a 96 model 2.8tdi shogun i came across a website that was in another language. So I installed the translation software and this is what came up:

5 Speed Manual Transmission = Monodisco - the dry one
5 Speed Auto Transmission = Converter of the binary
Steering Rack = nut and rack, attended hydraulically
Double Wishbone Front Suspension = Overlapped triangles
Front Disc Brakes = Ventilated records of 16

For those of a sensitive nature please note, I am not laughing at another nationality or their language, I'm laughing at whatever the translation software is that is converting the original language into english.

V5M31 is Mitsubishi's code for one of their 5 speed manual transmissions - as found in a 2.8tdi.

You can have hours of fun using "universal translaters" to translate to one or two other languages, then back to English - and seeing what you end up with.

They can do alright for business too - we wanted to trial an electric gripper from France, so my boss sent emails to France by writing in English and translating to French with Babelfish. It worked. (The translation, not the gripper... :roll: )
