Lost in translation

I happened across this cheap Chinese thermometer/hygrometer today and had to laugh. Imagine you are a person who speaks no English, and your job is to create the faceplate for the product with English text. Naturally you type some text in your native language into a translation program, and then copy all the English text you see assuming that it says just what you entered. I'm surprised (a little) that this actually made it into production.
