Chinese/Japanese text that has been translated into English by someone Chinese/Japanese. This can give embarassing results, or just plain stupid ones. See Instruction manuals from cheap remote controlled cars, etc.

Get the Chinglish mug.A combination of the words Chinese and English, referring to text which has been translated from Chinese into English where said text makes little sense, often due to a lack of grammar or the use of random words. Words may also be spelled incorrectly.
I bought something from China, it came with a card in Chinglish which said: "Bless everything goes well ! If like our items, please kindly help leave a 5 star review ! If have any questions, we will always beside by you !"

Get the Chinglish mug.Chinese English.
I live in an english speaking country where 14% of the population is made up of asian immigrants whose english can be heavily accented or they speak using poor grammar or pronunciation.
My friends and I started to call these misprounouncings as Chinglish and in my town it is starting to be a common expression now.

Get the Chinglish mug.This word was invented during the fall of 2012 after a student in a 7th grade math classroom noticed a misspelling on an Excel sheet. (The whole classroom bursted in laughter.) Of course, this was an intentional joke.
This word is a mix of two of the most widely spoken langauges in the world, Chinese and English. Simply put, Chinese + English = Chinglish.

Get the Chinglish mug.A word used to describe hilariously broken English sentences and/or grammar that was intended to be an accurate depiction of the forementioned sentence, not specifically meant to describe only Chinese-English broken translations. but also other languages that misconstrue the meaning, vocabulary, and/or grammar of the sentence, and can be observed rarely, but also seen in other homogenous, large societies where English isn't used commonly other than just China.
On a Bullet Train in Tōkyō, Japan and saw some Chinglish on an advertisement featuring English text.
