Wanted: English translator for Chinese electronics manufacturers

One of the best parts of buying small electronics straight from China is the joy of trying to understand the product packaging. The words make sense, but they're never in the right order for the English language. It's like they use Google Translate to get their copy into English, rather than hiring an interpreter. 

Here are a few shots off the box of a remote control helicopter I got for Christmas.

And if you haven't seen them yet, last year I posted a few shots from the box for a remote control plane here that I think are even funnier.

Looks fun... I need one of those in NY
I am from China and now pursuing my master degree in USC. It looks like you are an alumni of USC too. Maybe i could help you to translate something.
Happy New Year my friend. Also this is hilarious as I live in the Silicon Valley "Communist China" usa.. Chi Qi I would like to say to you "Zooh Ki!" If they wan to sell chinese products benefit from us americans they need to at least make an effort to speak our language and learn how to write it not just with some lousy translator from google. They are making money off of us left and right they should at least use a decent translator when making a profit off of us. Can we say "Ebay" Oh by the way for most Americans that are not wise enough to realize buying things off ebay from "Hong Kong" Hong Kong IS china.. When buying from New Zealand your buying from China.
Hi R Vizcara, I agree with you. Actually i am also confusing why they don't just hire some English speakers. cuz it's pretty easy to find someone who speaks English well in China. Maybe they have just quite small scale company and no extra money to hire this kind of people or some other reasons. But i am sure in the bigger companies, they do have special department to deal with language problems.
