    Seems that they translated 自助 (meaning self-service) into “help oneself”, while 終端 (terminal) into “terminating maching” (the word “終” itself can mean terminating/ending). The whole Chinese word should mean “self-servicing terminal”.

    This kind of character-by-character mis-translation seems quite common in mainland China. One of the funniest mis-translation would be they mis-translated the simplified Chinese character “干”. Somehow they mis-translated it into “f*ck”, while it should mean “dry/dried” in that case.

    Originally in traditional Chinese, the word “dry” (乾) and “f*ck” (幹) are different characters. But in simplified Chinese they have combined into the same characher “干”. People who learnt only simplied character would not be able to distinguish and make such great jokes.

    (footnote: Even the traditional character 幹 has multiple meaning, the most common one is “do something”. It means f*ck only in specific context, and is not common.)
