A question to translators...
Have you EVER been tempted to translate something incorrectly ON PURPOSE 
For example: Request for translation T-E "Seni cok seviyorum"
Translation: I would rather eat dried bees than see you ever again?
Just wondered

As a professional translator, my translation career is full of such incorrect translations on purpose. Which one of the examples could I give you? Nearly all my translations are such!

I am sure dried bees are a delicacy in some parts of the world
