The Google translation was more fun.

I guess that rice has something to do with vignetting.

Gives the translation as:
In the light enough rice is almost complete correction of the image of
the periphery. F2.8??? Good sharp image sharpness, brightness and
satisfactory F2.8. Architectural and interior photography, perfect snap.

Their reply was:
I don't know anything about cameras in English either but I'll take a
stab at it:
It has sufficient "light around the edge" (the light that comes in is
brightest in the center of a lens and it decreases toward the edge, this
lens has sufficient light even at the edges, is what it's saying, it's
good) and correction of images around the edge is almost perfect.
The F2.8 has clean sharp images, and satisfactory brightness.
It's the perfect thing for taking pictures of architecture and
photography done indoors.
