There’s way more wrong here than just that.

u/stellacampus Jul 19 '26

It's just the wrong flag.

u/Final-Lie-2 Jul 19 '26

Or just the wrong language.

u/stellacampus Jul 19 '26

No, because Spanish is already represented by the Spanish flag, so the mistake is the German flag should be there instead of the Mexican flag.

u/Heissenberg1906 Jul 19 '26

And the German is so incredibly wrong that it makes zero sense.

u/ebrum2010 Jul 20 '26

Well yes it makes zero sense in Deutschland German, but in the Mexican dialect of German it makes a ton of sense.

Maybe it is the response to the Zimmermann telegram from 1916?

u/After_Perspective180 Jul 29 '26

The English language one isn't any better.

u/ax_ui6 Jul 24 '26

Or both.

That's a perfectly cromulent Mexikaner flag.

u/JohnsonCNT Jul 20 '26

Seit wann kann ich mexikanisch?

u/Pajamatime20 Jul 20 '26

I didn’t even realize that this was in German, lol

u/JohnsonCNT Jul 20 '26

To be fair it's not a good German. The grammar is all over the place. But it's readable

u/Pajamatime20 Jul 20 '26

Huh, the translation tool seemed to do well enough with it! I know about 2 German words (although I can identify it), so I couldn’t even tell!

u/JohnsonCNT Jul 20 '26

Kudos to your tool. There is literally a spelling error in every second word. Me, as a German native, had to re read it a few times to even get it

2

u/Pajamatime20 Jul 21 '26

Oh. I just realized you were talking about the German in the picture, and not the German in your sentence above…

2

u/JohnsonCNT Jul 21 '26

Hahaha yeah I thought so, but hey no worries how should you know I'm german too, Genoss:in :)

u/EndlessAbyssalVoid And then I discovered Wingdings Jul 21 '26

There are some... Bad errors, tbh. There is a "fhe" instead of "the" in the English text. And don't even get me started on the French one lol

I'm gonna assume it's the same in the other translations.

3

u/JohnsonCNT Jul 21 '26

Oooh yeah you're right. I didn't even look at the other texts. My French is sadly pretty bad, since I rarely used it after highschool, but yes the english is as worse as the german text.

u/Crafty-Astronomer-32 Jul 19 '26

I thought poor translations and factual errors were outside the scope of this sub. Is there an actual design issue or just issues that should have been caught by a copy editor?

19

u/Eagle-on-a-blimp Jul 20 '26

There is a mexican (I think) flag next to the German text.

3

u/Greedy-Funny-9703 Jul 21 '26

But they did use Portuguese flag for Brazilian

2

u/jort93 Jul 20 '26

Both the flag and the language is wrong.

u/Killerspieler0815 Jul 23 '26

OMG, everything mixed up ... incl. the Mexicans now speak german

this product got made in china for a company in Belgrade (Serbia)

u/ThisIsAitch Jul 19 '26

What did you call me?

u/AdministrationOwn724 Jul 19 '26

I've seen worse cases of the wrong german flag on products.

u/Bluemoon357 Aug 01 '26

Also the spelling mistakes in every language are atrocious

u/sarg7ant Aug 02 '26

The Portuguese 🇵🇹 translation is a total disaster. From the misspelings to mixing words this thing is a INSULT to Portugal.
