out of the corner of my eye

My boyfriend bought a Bluetooth headset yesterday. The French translation on the box was impeccable, as were the instruction manuals included with the device.

But then, out of the corner of my eye, on the underside of the box:

Made in Taiwan - Fait dans le Taïwan

Now, if there was ever a group of words that did not need "re-translating"...that had to be it.

As I was about to put the box back down, something else caught my eye, right on the front of the packaging. The features were in both languages - no complaints there - but down in the corner, it appears that "Innovations International CES" had awarded this particular product a "Design & Engineering Showcase Honors" prize. Well done! Of course, the logo itself was not translated, and that was OK. But the explanatory note next to the logo read:

Award Winning Design - Attribuer Gagner la Conception

'Nuff said.
