> and me for French > The French guy actually translated "Garbage day" to something like "Shitty day"

So you translated it to "jour de merde"?



That's the other way around, the guy who did the translation without context wrote "jour de merde", and I saved them from releasing that in their phone calendar app during my one-day job paid in cash.


Well you really... saved the day!


The commenter wasn't the translator, they were the proof-reader:

Ah that makes more sense, thanks.
