You have a right to make a translation mistake. True or not? When I think about that, Pepsi’s blunder comes to mind. In the 1960s, Pepsi undertook an advertising campaign with the slogan “Come Alive! You’re in the Pepsi Generation!” Which was fine, until they used this slogan in China, where it was taken poorly. Why? In Chinese, this translates as “Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead.” Needless to say, you don’t want to drink Pepsi with that in your head.
Hasty climbers have sudden falls. Even huge companies get sloppy sometimes, and they endure millions in losses as a result. It’s always better to make a bit of an effort and spend some time on proofreading.
