The English is clear enough to lorry drivers - but the Welsh reads "I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated."
Apparently when officials from the road department wanted an English translation of the sign they wanted to put up in English, they sent an email to a translator asking for the text in Welsh. When they got the reply, they thought they got what they needed, not knowing that all they got was an automatic out-of-office reply in Welsh which said the above!
