Yeah, sometimes you'll see some really interesting Engrish. My all time favorite is the one that used to be on the side of cigarette vending machines.
"Let's Enjoy Smoking"
I don't know why but to this day that tickles me pink.
You have to realize these are dictionary translations with no regard for grammar or context. And, in all languages except Esperanto, many words have more than one meaning, so the program has to pick the most likely translation. The expensive translation programs for linguists actually give options from which the translator can choose.
oh man....coco ichi....my husband and i miss it so much!!! we bought one of their curry packs while we were in japan though to take home, but now that we are home we are afraid to use it because then it will be GONE! hahaha...we're saving it for a special occasion :) it's DELICIOUS!
CoCo Ichi Ban is indeed ichiban - so good! I have curry about once a week at my new uni cafeteria and it makes me long for CoCo ichi, which they don't have in my new town.
Lmao I thought this was very funny xD, do your kids speak both English and Japanese? I can see it now(if they do):
Kid: 'Daddy which curry do you want"?
You: The Iron Stamina curry.
Kid: "Ok"!
Kid: *Orders in Japanese*.

For sentences, I don't like using Google. It's good for getting a general idea, and some words, but mostly its inaccurate.
I liked the iron stamina one.

Despite the bizarre translations this video got me feeling really peckish. I'm even hungry enough to go for the people curry at a push.
