I returned from Russia after living there nearly two years. My sister decided to surprise me by creating 'welcome home' signs in Russian. She went to a website that offered translations and typed in 'Welcome Home,Cole'. She then printed the translated phrase onto about 20 coloured cardboard signs.
When I got off the plane, the first thing I saw was my family, excitedly waving posters printed with a strange message. My sister gave me a big hug, and pointed proudly to her creations. 'Isn't that great?' she said. 'Bet you didn't think I knew any Russian.'
I admitted that I was indeed surprised-and so was she when I told her what the signs actually said:'Translation not found.'
