@jfmezei god, painfully laughing at this one
@jfmezei this feels like a "your fridge is running" joke
like, baby's on the table… better go catch it!

"Onboard" is not the same as "on board". Sacrebleu.
How would that be relevant if "onboard" is not on the sign

@jfmezei you mean you don't habitually put your baby on a chalkboard?
Personally, that's usually how I store mine.

@jfmezei LOL. I was checking the reviews on Google for a restaurant in Paris and one review said “Hat of the leader”. Puzzled, I clicked to reveal the original review in French. It was “Chapeau le chef”.

@jfmezei
So did ai do the translating? I can see it not realizing if English keep babies on Boards why wouldn't the French keep them under tables?That should be all we need to know to stop using it.
@Crystal_Fish_Caves @jfmezei more likely Anglophones who couldn't be bothered to hire a translator and thought they knew what they were doing. this happens with Ottawa municipal stuff all the time. our city is right next to Quebec, a whole province of French speaking people, and la Ville de Gatineau is just across the river, but hire someone to get French phrasing correct? nah, who would do that.

@jfmezei I don't speak French but this seems a tad too literal?

@atkelar yep. Translated “board” as “blackboard” instead of expression “on board”. (Having boarded a vehicle).
