Lost in Translation Series: The Actual Version

Actual Information.jpgSpotted on a board at the Wien-Speising station of the Vienna S-Bahn that informs riders of service changes.

The text reads:

Dear Passengers, Planning your travel please consider the actual information.

The actual is probably the result of a bad attempt by the ÖBB (which runs the S-Bahn) to translate aktuell, which means current. However, interestingly, the German version of the message doesn't use that word.

I am happy to report, however, that, unlike last year, I didn't see any signs by the Wiener Linien wishing everyone a "Happy New Jear" this New Year's.
