French and Czech Signs in Agra Shops

Posted on April 2, 2009
The Last Print Out (Right Bottom) in English Saved me! A Shop at Sadar Bazaar, Agra.

If you know any of the languages in the picture above, do drop a comment.


This restaurant also sold South-Indian food near the south gate of the Taj Mahal Agra apart from whatever they are selling from this board. When I asked the owners which language it is, they said Czech!

    P.S.: Google language tools ( http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en ) should be of help.

    ok, I know French so let me do one part at least. I am not writing a literal translation but what it should mean.The first print is “Welcome, Whether you buy or not, it’s not a problem but pls enter to see.(something like “देखने के लिए आइये तो सही”). Something in that tone.The right side green print says Clothes ‘ready to wear’ are available. Any size in 2 hours. I guess they meant altering of any dress.Any types of clothes are stitched “silk, cotton, pashmina”. The other language looks German to me but I am not sure.

    The two signs on the left are indeed German :-)Willkommen thing: Welcome, please visit our place, whether you buy something or not. Sound pretty similar to the French thing aboveGute Ware thing: Good stuff at a good price, welcome.This must have been an expensive campaign 🙂
