A council has been embarrassed after erecting a Welsh language sign reading
"I am out of the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated."
Swansea council contacted its in-house translation service when designing a bilingual sign barring heavy goods vehicles in the Morriston area of the city. But as the translator was not available, they received an automated email response in Welsh saying "I am not in the office at the moment".
Unaware of the real meaning of the message, officials had it printed on the sign under the English.
The council took down the slogan after Welsh speakers noticed the mistake.
For those with worse eyesight:
