garudamon11 – Russian, Nye v’khod, means just “don’t tread on”.

I hope they’re dreaming of being a 50-foot tall Pampas grass, flying in color, and drag racing school buses!

Actually, the Russian is broken, too – it’s literally translated as “not the entrance”.

The Russian says “do not enter”. I love that it doesn’t elaborate, like the other languages. Just GTFO.

Is the grass dreaming it is dirt, or dirt dreaming it is grass?

The Russian says “No Entrance”. (at least that’s what I read). Interesting translation.

Funny… if you speak English, you may enter, but do not disturb the tiny grass. Now, if you’re Russian, you’re just not allowed to enter, and this is it! I wonder what the Chinese part says.

If you wake up tiny grass, huge grass will come to kill you.

The Japanese is odd, too… It says, “Taking a break. Please do not knock.”

What caught my attention is, most Chinese signs about “not treading on grass” on this site are on the theme of “do not disturb the plants”. Judging from my Chinese character knowledge, the original Chinese texts also do say that.
