MOTC to improve accuracy of bilingual public signage
Nov. 3 (CNA) The Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) has invited the public to submit examples of problematic bilingual signs to help improve the travel experience for foreign visitors, an o�cial said Wednesday.
Participants who upload photos of incorrect signs at railway stations, freeway serv-ice areas or national scenic areas administrated by the MOTC to the Facebook social network website before the end of January next year will have the chance to win a Wii or an iPod, each worth more than NT$10,000 , according to the MOTC. For further information, please check the website: http://www.facebook.com/bilingualmark
Many of the bilingual tra�c signs in Taiwan are incorrect and can confuse visitors or otherwise inconvenience them while they travel in the country, said Deputy Transport Minister Chen Wei-jen.
At one tourist attraction, there is a sign read-ing "beware of missing foot, " which, accord-ing to Chen, should read "unstable footing." This is only one example of a multitude of mangled-English signs around the country.
