The sign above is in English and Welsh. According to the BBC, when British sign-making officials needed a translation for the English phrases "No entry for heavy goods vehicles. Residential site only" they sent those phrases by email to a Welsh-language translation service.
When they got a reply email, the sign-makers carefully copied the Welsh phrases, made the sign and posted it next to the road.
Unfortunately, the Welsh email from the translation service said, "I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated".
And that's what the Welsh portion of the sign now says.
