The mayor of Vienna, Michael Ludwig (SPÖ) was recently duped with a fake call and had to believe he was calling the mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko. The misery, however, was overshadowed by Ludwig’s knowledge of English. Our readers took this opportunity to mistranslate proverbs.
In fact, Michael Ludwig’s English was not “the yellow of the egg” as the readers of “Krone” were jimini and Well damn think.
He was quickly forgiven in the community for falling for the fake call. Since he was probably “on the forest road” (on the wrong track), jokes frazzzz.
Was Ludwig’s English really subpar or did it really help that much? Do you also have funny English word creations and creative translations you want to share with the community? We look forward to your comments!
