Choosing your words when translating ...

From the manual of my new Lowa boots:

Before using new shoes, the leather or textile material should first be impregnated.

... Sure, Lowa. I'll ... get right on that.

Sneaky little alternate meanings ...

  1. Strange - I always thought that the purposed of SnowSeal was to prevent liquids from getting through. I'm so confused...

  2. It's definitely a strange manual. I'm not exactly sure what kind of product Lowa is even talking about, so I'm probably going to take this manual to EMS and ask exactly how to "impregnate" the boots properly.
