Only in Egypt: 8 Translation Fails

By Sherry El Kilany On Oct 9, 2013

From unfortunate ‘p’ and ‘b’ switches that prove some things really are lost in translation to brilliant tongue-in-cheek store names that showcase the Egyptian sense of humor at its finest, nothing says “Made in Egypt” better than these photos.

Have any of your own? Add them in the comments.

1. Because a hot crap sandwich is just gross.

2. Apparently in Egypt, calamari is “jelly fish”.

3. As opposed to Pee High.

4. Who knew Versatshi was available in Egypt?

5. This store owner is a marketing genius.

6. Or you’ll be unfriended.

7. When there’s no translation at all.

8. Globalization at its finest.

Some call her a workaholic, others call her driven, she calls herself a hustler. Some find her outgoing, others standoffish, she's just a confused intro/extrovert.

Spanning over 10 years in the event and marketing industry, Sherry began her career in Egypt's burgeoning Sports Marketing industry, to quickly be recruited by the Middle East's largest Film Studio Rotana Studios to spearhead and manage their Marketing Department, before starting her own company Nineteen84 Luxury & Entertainment Management.

Along the way she built some of Egypt's most successful websites, leading up until Scoop Empire, a compilation of her and her 2 partners (best friends) brain child!
