In the current Italian election campaign, Mario Monti's slogan has been "L'Italia che sale":
Although Google Translate thinks that this means "Italy and salt", in fact it means "The Italy that moves up" or "The Italy that rises", or something along those lines. (The verb is salire, which can mean "rise", "come/go up", "increase", "grow", "advance", "progress", etc.)
However, a bit of translingual intervention changes the meaning into something less inspirational:
