Well, I'm putting on a bug-deflector on the Jeep in a couple of weeks. What I want to do is stencil something humerous in mirror-reverse (you know, like "ambulance") on the deflector. I'm thinking of going with:
Warning: Driver is Insane Caution: Sentient Jeep Warning: Baltimorean at Wheel Caution: Left-Wing Liberal Nut
And so on.
But, here's the catch. I want it translated into another language -- Swedish, German, Klingon ...
And, if anyone else has any good/cool suggestions ...

Caution: Left-Wing Liberal Nut
Just do it in english. That'll generate a few laughs.
I saw a bumper sticker with the warning: "Just let me shop and no one gets hurt"

Don't do it.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

OK, I can understand doing that, but WHY in another language?! It's no funny if no one can understand it

Or don't do it. Or, if you really want people to think "What the FUCK?", then have "What the FUCK?" written on it.

There is no compatible phrase in my language (macedonian), but if you give me a bit more info on what you want I could translate it, as to the previous stuff: (tell me how to do cyrilic fonts or this won't be accurate) Vnimanie: Vozacot e lud Pazi: Svesen Dzip Vnimanie: Baltimoreanec pozadi volan Pazi:Levo-Krilen Liberalen Ludak

Shik had the funky fonts, so I bet that cyrilic fonts are also possible, could someone please tell me how to use them online. I translated all of your requests, but they are not fully accurate because I had to use the english alphabet which is limited in comparison to most other alphabets (or all of them, not sure)

Even if you typed the Cyrillic letters in, only people who had the right fonts and settings and such would see them. So, it won't really work.
"What the fuck" won't really translate into other languages. English is the only language that uses "fuck" (or its equivalent) so many different ways. In other languages, if you say the word that means "fuck", you're actually talking about fucking.
