Is there a term for "English that doesn't make sense"?


There are a lot of crazy combinations of English words and translations that
don't make sense. Is there a specific term that identifies this?




There is
[和製英語](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%92%8C%E8%A3%BD%E8%8B%B1%E8%AA%9E)
_wasei eigo_ "Japanese English" for pseudo-English Made in Japan, e.g.
アイスキャンディー _ice candy_ "popsicle", etc.
