Bad translation?

Postby andycarmenjapanese8100 » July 18th, 2013 9:08 am

I don't know whether it's a JPod101 mistake or just my bad Japanese but this looks wrong:

From Lower Intermediate: Season 5: Lesson 5:

Sono kado o magaru to sūpā ga arimasu.
"If you go straight, there's a restroom."


Is that English translation accurate?

Shouldn't it be, "Turn at the corner and there's a supermarket?"
