Being a non-Dutch speaker resident in Amsterdam, it’s often necessary to use online translation tools such as BabelFish to assist in day-to-day activities. This often produces surprising and entertaining results.
Translation of the mission statement of Albert Heijn – a Dutch supermarket chain:
‘Everyday payable, it particular bereikbaar’ , that is the mission of Albert Heijn. It is in fact exact what had the oprichter of our company for eyes. On strooibiljetjes he let the next text press: ‘ Very well quality, large turnover, small profit. Poor and realm is possible their purchases doen.’ at me; Beside particular products and action, we are also a payable shop for the everyday messages. That underlines we with our mission.
That clears that up then!
