I work as a referent and simultaneously as a translator of the head of a large company. Therefore, I am often addressed with the most diverse questions everyone is not lazy.
I came to work yesterday, and a girl from the marketing department is already waiting for me. It holds a certificate and a metal pen. It says: "This is the holder of the price, we need to insert it into the meat products on the showcase, the manufacturer company sent us a certificate on the composition of the metal in English. Check out and see if it’s true". I translate the certificate. The certificate says it is stainless steel that can be used in the food industry. There are people from the translation department coming to me. They look at the bottom and say that the appearance is not steel at all. We send it for analysis to our lab, and we get the answer that this alloy can not be used in the food industry at all.
Here we start preparing claims to the supplier.
Half an hour later, the girl returns from marketing to find out how things are going. We tell her what we were able to find out, we show the "outlet" and explain that it is not possible to use it on the window. And then the girl timidly says, "Oh, you know, I lost the real sample, but on my toy machine on the desk was inserted a similar one, I brought it to you. I didn’t know you would send it to the expert:))))"
