When an Online Translator Just Isn’t Enough

You know you really understand the Spanish language when this sign makes sense (taken from the wall of a public restroom in Cancun)

The correct translation would be “Fragile: Do Not Lean”, in case you were wondering.

LOL, that’s classic. What did the sign actually say in Spanish?

On a side note: I really love the roof in the picture. It makes me want a margarita on the beach.

Like Spanish, “manga” is translated into “sleeve”. Well in Portuguese “manga” is also the fruit. So you can imagine the sign next to mango juice, right?
