» the office is closed «

Have you wondered how to say “The office is closed” in many languages? No you say! Well, at my work we started as a joke to write down a list of: How to say » the office is closed « in many languages. Over time we’ve collected many different languages all from German to Arabic.

So why not do as Jennifer’s Language Page does, share the knowledge and educate people – Don’t take this to serious though;-)

And since I’m a part off the CouchSurfing community (My profile), why not have the native tongue speakers (Not sure if it’s correct English, but you’ll get it. Right?) to pronounce it on video.

Finally, there is only left to say: Happy surfing for » the office is closed «
