Will the Name Support or Sabotage Your Success in Foreign Markets?

It's easier than ever to enter foreign markets and sell your products across the globe.  Set up a new website and you can instantly present your message to the entire world.

But it's also easier than ever to shoot yourself in the foot by making a foreign language faux pas.  If you unwittingly present a product name that’s offensive or demeaning in other languages, you’ll sabotage your own success.  Potential customers will want nothing to do with your product.

Avoid the Language Trap

Don’t fall into the trap that has ensnared countless other companies.  Like the oil and gas firm whose name means “in the can, locked away in prison” in Latin American Spanish.  Or the TV set maker whose name means “manufacturing defects” in Italian.
