Well, we get a lot of translations here, but the interesting thing is that the English terms are not correct. A camera flash is not called a flashlight and a tripod is not called a stand. So how accurate are the other terms in this rosetta stone?
Carl, I thought they handled their message quite nicely, and I had no problem understanding their meaning. Restaurant menus are a whole 'nutter matter!
Google translation from French to English: Il est interdit de photographier avec un flash et/or un pied! It is forbidden to photograph with a flash and / or a tripod!
Google translation from German to English: Das Fotografieren mit Blitzlicht und/oder Stativ ist untersagt! Taking pictures with a flash and / or a tripod is prohibited!
