(Not a caption) 签到处 – I don’t know how they got this translation. I looked it up in the http://us1.mdbg.net chinese dictionary and I think it means “Sign in point” or “Sign in place” or perhaps “Check-in here.”

NM, Google translates it to “Sign Everywhere”

ç­¾ = sign
到 = arrive
处 = place

Ergo “Sign in here upon arrival” ??
Ergo “Check-in”?

The mistake came from how the machine translator splits up this complex noun.

The proper way to split it is 签到-处 (Signin-place), but the machine translator split it wrongly as 签-到处 (Sign-everywhere)

If you are blind, please use the keyboard behind the sign

(reading screen hidden behind the sign:
. “Press any key to sign in, or any other key to exit”

ç­¾=sign
到=arrive
处=place
到处=everywhere

so 签到处=sign everywhere.

but real meaning of it is “check in here” I think.
