We printed some flat stock for several years for a Radio Frequency Safety concern. A few of the signs were multi-lingual: Chinese, Spanish and of course, Engrish. The English I have nearly mastered (finally) but we had SEVERAL proofreaders go over the foreign language parts. Proofreaders who's FIRST language was the correct one. It was VERY helpful.

I knew a sign man in Manhattan KS who had to re-do some large back-sprayed translucent acrylic faces for a Chinese buffet, because one of the characters was missing some little curly-Q or other. It TOTALLY changed the meaning of the sign.

Cost him some coin.
