Lost and Found in Translation

We come across many reviews of our products online and frequently they’re in languages that we need to read via machine translation. Sometimes the results, like this from the Slovakian site Firotour, are charming, if a bit odd.

“Clean, lined or square notebooks are mostly sold in packs of three pieces. When you fill one, the next will come. Thanks to their modest size and weight, they can also be packed peacefully on their way.”
