The scenario: Chinese restaurant owner wants to make a sign for the business.
 
Chinese owner desires English name to attract diners who can’t read Chinese.
 
Old way: Find acquaintance with a marginal grasp of English to do a crude translation that ends up being the subject of redicule on the internet.
 
New way: Use a web site to do the translation for you, harness the power of the internet to avoid redicule.
 
The plan is perfect.  Perfect, I say!

Behold, the glorious results!
