Chinese is known as one of the most difficult languages to understand and interpret and the struggle can clearly be seen from the hilarious misinterpreted pictures that read everything from “Big fuck Hall” for a hall to “explosive dog” for a police dog. However, China has finally unrolled a plan to end the spread of Chinglish and is working on improving the quality of English in 13 public arenas like transportation, entertainment and medicine. The government will also be providing a list of standardised translations for some 3,500 commonly used phrases and terms. 

Yeah here's one for an exercise room in Shanghai where they should have put more effort into the translations...
