It has gotten better since the days of me posting various "Engrish" I would see that were posted officially on wayfinding signage in places like Tokyo and Shinjuku stations, Haneda Airport, rest areas along the national expressway system and so forth.

When I finally go to Japan I'll be on the quest to collect as many "Engrish" signs as possible! I'm sure some are left!

It’s gotten better but only because the translation algorithms are better. But the rabbit hole gets deep real quick too.
