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 Chinglishmug. 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 Chinglishmug. 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 Chinglishmug. 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 Chinglishmug. 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.
